    Amazing Abstracts
    Create an abstract quilt that has amazing movement and drama, using techniques pioneered by Ursula Kern. Go from inspiration to a simple sketch, then have fun “coloring” your sketch with bits of fabric to create a mock-up of your design. The design is gridded and blocks are foundation pieced using an easy sew-and-flip method with room for creativity and improvisation.

    Grid Work
    A photograph will be combined with a grid to create abstract structure embraced within the lines. This is a great way to break down a complex design into doable 5-inch units. We will be working with straight-line paper piecing for an abstract look or applique for a realistic piece. Each little block is constructed, quilted and embellished before they are all sewn together.
