An 8-day course to make this challenging quilt under the guidance of Marianne Martens-Niemeijer, certified instructor for Quiltworx® patterns. A true masterpiece in terms of technique, yet suitable for both the beginning and the advanced quilter.
You will receive the pattern in September 2025; the package of fabrics will be ready for you when the course starts.
What can you expect:
You decide which size quilt you want to make:
Wall size = ± 2.00 x 2.00 cm 88 inch (approximately 21 meters of quilting fabric)
Queen size = ± 2.50 x 2.50 cm 99 inch (approximately 28 meters of quilting fabric)
You can choose from different color variations that can be made as both Wall and Queen. It is possible to make a different color scheme for you. However, all packages must be purchased from Quilthoeve. The package includes the pattern. The images are for example only, colors and fabrics can be adjusted:
You can save an amount per month from September 2024. The amount depends on the size of the quilt and the color variation you choose. You can also pay in other installments, if you want. The total amount must be paid before July 31, 2025. It is recommended to take out cancellation insurance.
You will receive the pattern and the complete package of the quilt at home at the end of August 2025. The pattern contains 7 lesson books. The package of fabrics is delivered per group in strips. The strips are labeled. In September 2025 there will be a Zoom lesson in which you will learn how to cut out the pattern in advance. Because making the quilt takes quite a lot of time, cutting the pattern is necessary before the course starts. Practical information:
