We all have a pile of scraps–too beautiful to toss out, large enough to save for a scrap quilt. We all have orphan quilt blocks–you know, the blocks with the mistake or we tested something and changed our mind. And the scrap piles look like this….
So, what’s keeping us from making that scrap quilt?
You paid a lot of money for the fabric—why not make those scraps and blocks into a quilt!
Sometimes, we have a lot of mixed fabrics, but can’t find the energy to sort them by size and color, and then plan a quilt. If you’re like me, I know I’ll NEVER get around to that task.
So, my new workshop is perfect for you!
You probably have all the fabric you need for this workshop in your stash–including the yardage for your solids.
We will start with a fast and easy approach to creating improvisationally pieced blocks. You’ll leave with a lot of tips for making improvisational blocks that will keep you from worrying about matching everything up. To make it even more fun, you’ll have a chance to trade some scrap fabric with other students to make your blocks even more random!
Then, using a provided pattern layout and three solid or tone on tone fabrics, you will cut and piece your beautiful improvisational blocks into a modern quilt layout that you can arrange and even re-arrange to suit your style. The neutral fabric you choose will give you negative space to really show off those improvisational blocks.
Here are some sample blocks made by students in my workshop. Contact me to book this workshop for your Guild!
