... An hour long trunk show to help define alternate gridwork and negative space, two principles of modern quilting. She will share quilts that show how she has played with these two ideas in different ways over the last few years—from just a touch to bold. Amy hopes this gives you some ideas when it comes to planning your quilt layouts.

Workshop: "Improvisational Paper Piecing"
March 22 9:30 am - 3:30 pm
via Zoom
This workshop is based on one of the three design approaches that I share in my second book, Improv Paper Piecing: A Modern Approach to Quilt Design. This class is technique and design based, all about approaching your paper pieced block designs improvisationally. You will design and sew your own test block and explore quilt layouts with your block, using alternate grid work, negative space and other elements of modern design. This class is process oriented.
