Craftsy Dot to Dot Quilting

 Over the weekend I had the opportunity to watch Angela Walter's Dot to Dot Quilting class on Craftsy. I was wanting to get a better idea of how to quilt certain shapes and overcome my fear of rulers. I tried rulers and let's just say, I need more practice.

In this class, Angela made it so easy to create so many amazing geometric shapes. I really love the fact that there were no marking needed to quilt these shapes. I had a hard time removing the dreaded blue mark b-gone pen when I used it on white for a clothing assignment and never touched it again, so anything that doesn't require marking is perfect for me. Can you imagine working so hard on your quilt just to have it ruined by your marking tool. I know there are marking tools out there that works but I have not tried it.

6. Borders and Corners:  In this lesson, see how to quilt designs in areas with more negative space. Plus learn three ways to turn the corner without losing your design flow.

7. Dot to Dot Around the Block: Think outside the piecing and find out how to use dot-to-dot designs in any style of quilt. Angela demonstrates how to use the quilting to frame blocks, create secondary patterns and use wedge shapes as fillers to quickly quilt any space efficiently.
