Large-Scale Minimal Improv Workshop
Advanced Beginner-Intermediate piecing skills are a prerequisite.
In this full-day workshop, you'll learn tips and strategies to create successful projects and learn the process of "piecing with purpose" while using intentional fabric choices instead of scraps,
commonly reserved for improv quilting.
Get inspired by your fiber selections and let the art of improv quilting lead you to make your own one-of-a-kind throw-sized quilt.
Full Day / 6hr / 3hr mini

Students take their piecing home to quilt with pillow finishing instructions.
