In this class quilters will create improv quilt tops using basic shapes including half square triangles, half rectangle triangles, flying geese, and drunkards path; then arrange the shapes to tell a visual story. We’ll discuss working with scale, color, and negative space to create a harmonious design, and look at examples of designs that feature arranged shapes for inspiration. Students will sew shape blocks, spend time playing on the design wall, and start piecing their quilt tops. Each student will finish class with a unique design and all the blocks needed to complete their project at home. Students should know how to piece basic shapes as the focus will be on designing and piecing the quilt top.
