Improv piecing is for those who are excited to step out of the quilting box, are tired of measuring, or ready to explore their inner artist!

Using centering techniques, and a little bit of courage, you can learn how to trust your creative process to piece intuitively and artistically. 

We will discover different techniques for improv piecing, including strip piecing, curved piecing, and a little bit of free-form fun.

At the end of class, you'll leave with a collection of improv-pieced components and lots of ideas for incorporating them into future quilts and projects. 

You will not only be excited about bringing your improv techniques into your sewing and quilting, but thrilled to discover the person who had it in them all along!
