Improv Patchwork: Dynamic Quilts Made with Line & Shape

Explore new options in improvisational piecing and empower your creativity! Cut and combine solid-color fabrics to create your own ＂prints＂ - stripes, polka dots, chevrons, plaids, and more. Forget the rules (and even your ruler) as you piece colorful solids into compelling quilt designs. Use color, pattern, and repetition to develop your personal design aesthetic as you stitch freely to create unique quilts that pack a punch!

While Maria Shell’s work is firmly grounded in the craft of quiltmaking, she uses her years of experience to create surprising combinations of pattern, repetition, and color. The recipient of numerous awards and fellowships, Maria lives in Anchorage, Alaska.
