Crooked Crosses and Bent Boxes Workshop
‘Semi-improv’ is a technique for those who want the look and feel of improv, but who aren’t quite ready to give up their rulers. This workshop will kick off with a detailed overview of the pattern to orient the participants. Hands-on instruction will be provided for each step of the Crooked Crosses and Bent Boxes quilt pattern and classroom time will be allowed for participants to progress toward making a 30” x 30” wall handing or 15” x 60” table runner of their own.
The pattern uses efficient piecing techniques like strip piecing and nested seams. We’ll use a ruler at every step! Cross blocks and Box blocks are constructed using modular subunits: cutting the same subunits from each of several fabric colors, then mixing-and-matching them in different orientations and color value combinations to create variety and depth. Individual blocks are constructed larger than required, then trimmed, improv-style to create movement in the final piece.
We’ll explore the use of different fabrics: colors and prints, and different layout options that can be used to optimize the design.
We also have a great workshop planned with Cheryl Arkison! It will explore abstract expression in your quilting. It will be:
