::Nine Patch Improv::
Monday I have a few spaces available in my Nine Patch Workshop at Fabric Crush in Magnolia. The workshop runs for two consecutive Mondays (January 25th and February 1st) from 12:30-2:30.
Like all of my classes, a traditional skill will be taught, but improvisational technique will be mixed in if a more modern/free pieced look appeals to you. Proper value placement is all that is needed to make a simple quilt like this shine.
One of the best things about teaching quilting is the abundance of techniques available that belong to all of us. Most of them require just a tweak to make a quilt of your own design.
Exaggerate them, block them in wonky, turn them on the diagonal, make them scrappy and uneven, anything goes.

Wish I could make it to your class, what fun! I love that hearts on vines print in the pink nine patch, is that a Tina Givens print? 🙂
After teaching my first improv class I’ve now realized that it might sell better and be easier for folks to embrace improv by doing exactly this – taking the traditional and tweaking it, one technique at a time.
nine patch is my fav. block design. it’s so simple, but can bring lots interest fabric together. I am in love with your second photo. i knew someone would just love to have one in her room. 🙂
have a nice day~
I wish I was close enough to take your class! If you ever feel like sharing these projects on your blog in a tutorial, I would love it!
Your examples are beautiful. Wish I could hop a plane and sit in.
