Small But Mighty
A new block every month — and a small quilt to grow your skills, one afternoon at a time.
Big skills don’t require big projects. Each month I share a new beginner-friendly block, plus a simple way to turn four of them into an 18” mini quilt — so you can experiment, play with color, practice your points, and try new techniques on a project you can actually finish. It’s just a few fat quarters and a little time, but the things you’ll learn will stay with you for your whole quilting journey. Make it, learn from it, and make it your own.
This Month
Turtle Block
An all-straight-seam block with lots of diagonal movement — a friendly place to practice nesting seams and matching your points.
