Full-Day Workshop
9 am - 4 pm, Friday, March 1
Make an Improv block the center of your composition and add your own borders–may be curved strips or asymmetrical open space–it’s completely up to you to make your quilt your own. This process can be adapted to any size quilt–use your imagination! We will discuss the improv block technique using scraps and different ways to set the block into an interesting design with border options.
