Quilters begin with a simple project that teaches a new technique, and then build their proficiency with a larger quilt project. These projects include wall hangings, table runners, door hangers, mantel toppers, pillows, and pillowcases. Quilt the Seasons teaches piecing, appliqué, trapunto, and embellishments.
