Do you get stuck asking yourself, “How do I quilt this?” In this class, we experience the adventure of developing a quilting plan. In a "choose your own adventure" style, we work through a variety of exercises to learn to analyze, strategize, and implement a unique modern quilting plan. Students may be beginners through advanced quilters. This class focuses on design, and not instruction on how to quilt. Leave class with newfound confidence and a plan to quilt one of your own quilts.
Students will learn to identify constraints, evaluate quilting options, follow a decision-making process, and make a quilting plan that strengthens and aligns with the quilt's message. This is a three-hour class with instructive lecture, discussion, and ample time for practice and personal attention.
