The Lulu Louise quilt top is finished! 💕 Chapter The Lulu Louise quilt top is finished! 💕

Chapter 4 of the Lulu Louise Quilty Class is all about bringing everything together, and I tried something a little different with this one.

Instead of attaching all of the background pieces to each foreground column individually, I chain pieced them. It definitely required a little extra brainpower to keep everything in the right order 😆, but it made the process feel so much quicker.
Then it was just a matter of sewing all those finished columns together and watching Lulu Louise finally become a quilt top.

And now we get to move on to one of my favorite parts... free motion quilting!

Chapter 4 is available now inside the Lulu Louise Quilty Class. 💕

We're beginning with all the little things that make the actual sewing go so much smoother: getting familiar with the quilt, gathering supplies, walking through the pattern, and choosing fabrics.

Lulu Louise is a beginner-friendly quilt made with simple, efficient strip piecing, and there are three sizes to choose from: Crib, Throw, and Bed. The quilt pattern is included with the class, so everything needed to begin is waiting inside.
