Students will begin their journey into rag quilting with an examination of the popularity of this trendy quilting technique. This is followed by an exploration of the world of popular polar fleece fabrics. Students will then dive into their project by determining the type and size of quilt they wish to make as well as identifying and assembling all needed supplies. Participants will also explore fabric combinations that will make a great statement and they will then get into the thick of things by setting up the sewing machine, cutting, matching and sewing their fabric squares and preparing them for more assembly. Students will learn tips for staying organized, sewing rows and applying the finishing touch to their one-of-a-kind blanket creation. Lessons, assignments, polls, tests, forums, "virtual handholding" and a fun, supportive, caring learning environment will support students through to a successfully completed project.
