Zip It Quilt Top with Tina Finbow

This is a Brand NEW Quilt top workshop for the Zip It quilt which was designed by Emma Jean Jansen and she has kindly given me permission to teach this design.  The pattern is required to do the workshop and this has been included in the workshop fee.

The pattern is created using a charm pack with an additional contrasting fabric. One charm pack would make a good size lap quilt with the addition of borders.  If you want to make the quilt top bigger and not have borders, then you could use 2/3 or even 4 charm packs and then just add the binding once quilted.

It’s an enjoyable workshop but not suitable for absolute beginners.

Workshop Fee – £58 (does not include materials but does include the pattern)

Limited to 8 people
