SUMMARY:Modern Quilt Blocks: Break the Rules with Style
DESCRIPTION:In this hands-on quilting workshop, participants will expl
 ore the bold, playful, and unconventional world of modern quilt blocks
 . You’ll learn how to break away from traditional symmetry and embra
 ce negative space, color contrast, and improvisation to create eye-cat
 ching designs. This two-part class includes a follow-up Guided Making 
 session where participants can continue their block projects or bring 
 in another quilt to work on alongside the instructor and fellow makers
 .\nThis is a two-part class: November 2nd (instruction) and November 1
 6th (guided making).\nWhat to Expect In the first session, students wi
 ll dive into key principles of modern quilt design and practice constr
 ucting blocks using techniques like asymmetry, minimalism, and bold co
 lor placement. You’ll work hands-on with a sewing machine and learn 
 how to design blocks that pop, using both guided patterns and improvis
 ational methods.\nThe second session (November 16th) is a Guided Makin
 g day—participants can return to build on what they started in the f
 irst class or bring in a different quilting project to continue with s
 upport from the instructor and their fellow participants.\nParticipant
 s are encouraged to bring their own fabric for the style and color pal
 ette they want to work in. A small selection of fabric will be availab
 le for practice and experimentation if needed.\nSkills You’ll Acquir

 y, bold color use)\n• Techniques for piecing modern quilt blocks\nâ€
