Creativebug is excited to release our first-ever Daily Quilting Challenge. Designer and quilter Anna Maria Horner created “Dear Diary” to help you build skills as you move through the month, resulting in the perfect modern sampler quilt. Beginning with traditional blocks and techniques updated with contemporary color choices and block arrangements, this quilt top serves as a record of your patchwork journey. Use half-square triangles in different ways to create new motifs, play with scale as you move through the various blocks, and learn how to appliqué on feature blocks. Best of all, the robust PDF includes cutting and assembly guides as well as a color map so you can substitute in an of your favorite solids and prints to make this quilt your very own.
Before beginning each day, please be sure to work from the most updated version of the class PDF.

I liked the final quilt, and I did enjoy learning different types of blocks, however I did not think this was a beginner friendly class. One problem I ran into was that in the videos she would say things like "trim to a 4-inch square" or similar, so I did, and all my blocks were short by 1/2 an inch. I asked my mom about it, who has been quilting for years, and she said really what you need to do is trim the square to 4.5x4.5". And this just wasn't explained in the videos or the accompanying pdf. Also, for one of the blocks on day 4, it was unclear that part of the block was going to be used for assembly later, and as a final block dimension was provided for that day I had made it incorrectly and didn't realize it until the final assembly days. One of the applique shapes was not referenced at all in the pdf (number 7), but I was pretty sure she meant this one instead of piece 1 for one of the applique's. I really loved the idea of this quilt, but I definitely wouldn't have said it was a beginner quilt with how it was presented. A little more instruction in the pdf's and the videos really would have helped.

Great class showing different ways to create a variety of blocks. I will definitely review again and actually follow along the next time. I think I got lost on a few of the blocks. The quilt is lovely, different from many others. Great way to use up scraps to make a colorful masterpiece and showcase some quilting skills. Someone will love this gift. But, then again, I may have to keep this one.

I love every class taught by Anna Maria Horner! She is not only a great teacher, her fabrics that she designs are beautiful and her use of these fabrics in her quilts are always very inspiring. I look forward to more classes taught by Anna Maria Horner in the future.
