PLAY WITH COLOR AND VALUE IN THIS CLASSIC QUILT DESIGN MADE MODERN!
The Big Ocean pattern teaches you fundamental quilting skills including finessing diagonal seams, managing bias, aligning points & pressing management.
This pattern uses a simple block and is great for beginners, but is tons of fun for more advanced quilters looking to dive into design.
The on-demand video course builds on the pattern and takes you along step-by-step as Tara sews up a complete lap sized quilt.
Big Ocean is all about color and design! Sew along with the video course as Tara takes you through her thought process of building a color palette and designing a layout.
ON-DEMAND VIDEO COURSE
You can't put everything in a written pattern! Choose the Pattern with Video Course option to get access to 8 in-depth video lessons where Tara sews through each step of the pattern and includes all the tips & tricks you get in an in-person class.
Video courses are on-demand lessons hosted on Thinkific and content never expires. Watch the videos as often as you like or whenever you need a refresher. Leave comments in the platform to get help if you get stuck on a step in the pattern.
Video courses are only available when purchased with the pattern.

This class was so good. I felt that Tara taught in a way that was super informative and her teaching style is relaxed.
