Pixel Quilt piecing can seem a little overwhelming! Let Dee guide you through the two methods she uses to piece her quilts so that you will be fully prepared to tackle your own! Students will be put together 9 pixel quilt blocks to create a flower from Dee's Cherry Blossom pattern. Using a combination of techniques, students will learn to use interfacing, piece with each pixel, blocking like colors, as well as cutting and piecing larger sections.
