In this episode, Sherri and Chelsi discuss their process of sewing with a brand new fabric collection that has yet to be released. They share how they approach which quilt patterns they will make first and what they do if there are any hiccups in the process of sewing new patterns for the first time. They then share some of their top "Go-To" quilt patterns that have made time and time again. They explain why they feel these quilts are good choices for fast completions when you may need a quilt in a hurry.
