Tilted Tiles: An Introduction to Semi-Improv Techniques

‘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.

The 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 Tilted Tiles quilt pattern and classroom time will be allowed for participants to progress toward making a 36” x 36” wall handing or 18” x 72” table runner of your own. The pattern uses efficient, traditional piecing techniques, and multiple block sizes, each with their own choose-your-own-adventure-style instructions for the creation of a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. Blocks are made from modular subunits which are mixed-and-matched in interesting color and value combinations to create visual interest and flow. The subunits can be assembled in various orientations and sewn together in numerous configurations. The blocks are constructed larger than required using traditional piecing techniques, then trimmed with a ruler, improv-style to give each block a ‘tilted’ or ‘wonky’ look which adds variety and movement to the assembled quit top.

Required Materials: 

• Tilted Tiles quilt pattern, list price $15 or free download for MQG members 
• 4 half yards of fabric in various colors and color values 
• A 12.5” square quilting ruler is highly recommended.
