FAQs
What is the finished size of the Echoes of Heritage quilt?
The final quilt finishes at approximately 36" x 48"— a perfect throw size to display the stunning African-rooted designs in your modern home. (With more blocks, sashing and borders you can make it bigger if you like).
What is the recommended skill level for this BOM?
This BOM is designed for Confident Beginners and up. If you have basic rotary cutting, sewing, and pressing skills, you are ready! We use fusible appliqué, which is a beginner-friendly technique, and the included video tutorials offer clear, step-by-step guidance.
What materials do I need to participate?
You will need basic sewing supplies (sewing machine, thread, scissors, rotary cutter, ruler, etc.), as well as background fabric, appliqué fabrics, fusible web, and batting/backing to finish. The monthly plan covers the digital pattern and video instruction, but fabric is sold separately in our online shop.
What is included in the monthly delivery?
Every month, you receive a downloadable PDF pattern, and a session by Miriam explaining the profound cultural history behind the month's appliqué design.
Is this machine appliqué or hand appliqué?
We focus primarily on machine appliqué using fusible web for the clean, modern look of the silhouettes. Instructions for finishing the edges using your machine are included in the masterclass.
When does the Echoes of Heritage BOM officially start?
The BOM runs for 12 months, starting on January 9, 2026. Your first module will be accessible on that date, and a new module will be released on the 1st of every month thereafter.
How do I access my monthly patterns and videos?
You will access everything through a dedicated, password-protected membership portal on the Quilt Africa website.
What is the difference between the Annual and Quarterly plans?
The Annual Plan ($165) gives you access to all 12 modules for a significant discount (saving you one month's tuition) and includes the Quick-Action Bonus.
The Quarterly Plan ($45) charges you every three months and also includes the Quick-Action Bonus.
The Monthly Plan ($15) is pay-as-you-go but does not include the bonus.
What if I fall behind?
No problem! Once you sign up, you have access to the pattern and video lessons for as long as your membership is active. This is a journey, not a race. You can work at your own pace.
