The Secret to Shimmer Lies in Your Stash

Use fabrics you probably already have in your stash to create a quilt that shimmers like sunlight on water. Julia Graves, a color-savvy quilting superstar, brings her crystal-clear instruction and signature sparkle to this class, where you’ll unlock the layout techniques behind Shimmering Triangles' glow. (Pattern by Jenny Bowker, shared with permission and valued at $18.)

The secret to that shimmer lies in mastering color, value, and fabric placement—skills that will elevate all your quilting projects. Sewing is refreshingly simple—but the magic happens in choosing the right fabric combos. Thankfully, Julia will coach you through the decision process. Upload your fabric pulls for personalized, photo-based feedback—built right into the course. She’ll help you fine-tune your fabric pull and layout before you ever make a cut. You'll also pick up a speedy method for stitching perfect half-square triangles and explore creative quilting options to finish strong. The included downloadable pattern comes in sizes from baby to king, and with Julia cheering you on, this quilt is pure joy to make, no matter your experience level.
