While I was Moving...

... an exciting event happened, my class, Improvisational Piecing - Modern Design went live on Craftsy. I'm so excited to share it with you.

In the class I teach three techniques and five new quilt designs. The techniques are three that are in the book, but I've added new variations in the techniques, so if you have the book, you'll definitely be learning new things and of course there are five new quilt designs,

Unparalleled Quilt using the Slice/Insert Technique

If you sign up for the class, I'll be there to answer questions and work with you to learn the techniques, make the quilts, and make the quilts your own.  The other students in the class will be there for you too.  We'll all be sharing information and the quilts we make.  I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with.  Students have already begun sharing projects.  (Awesome, inspiring work!)

To the Point Quilt using the Modern Crazy Piecing Technique

With a Craftsy class you can access the class at any time and you keep the class forever. You can work at your own pace and the Craftsy platform allows you to move seamlessly within the class.  To check out the class, click the link on the sidebar.  I hope you'll decide to sign up for the class and join me!

Crosscut Quilt using the Slice/Insert Technique

These are some variations of the Crosscut quilt that I made using some of the step-outs from the filming of the class.  I finished these at the Chicago Modern Quilt Guild retreat a few weeks ago.

I used the leftover crosscut blocks to make oversized half square triangles with a couple of solid fabrics.

I quilted both of them with a straight line chevron quilting.

I used green thread on the first one and purple thread on this one.

I really love the different looks created by the different color threads.

The move is almost over.  More on that in the next post and I'll have the winner(s) of my Make Moving Fun giveaway.  If you haven't put in a guess, head back to that post and guess the number of boxes that are now EMPTY!
