$35

with Janet Stoll

Calendar Oct 17, 2026 at 9 am, runs for 1 week

This class will focus on the 5-yard quilt. If you’re looking for a quilt project that’s both simple and stunning, 5-yard quilt patterns are the perfect choice. These patterns are designed to use just five yards of fabric, making them budget-friendly and easy to plan. Famous among quilters for their versatility, they date back to when fabric was sold in smaller cuts, encouraging creative designs with limited materials. Nowadays, they’re a favorite for everything from cozy throws to gifts because they’re quick to make but still pack a visual punch. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced quilter, adding a 5-yard quilt pattern to your collection is a great way to explore new designs without feeling overwhelmed. Get ready to discover a fun and rewarding way to turn five yards of fabric into something wonderful!
