Welcome to the Crooked Crosses and Bent Boxes Workshop!

‘Semi-improv’ is a technique for those who want the look and feel of improv, but who aren’t quite ready to give up their rulers.

The workshop will kick off with a detailed overview of the pattern to orient the participants. Hands-on instruction will be provided for each step of the Crooked Crosses and Bent Boxes quilt pattern and classroom time will be allowed for participants to progress toward making a 60” x 50” throw size quilt.

The pattern uses efficient, traditional piecing techniques like strip piecing and nested seams. We’ll use a ruler at every step! Cross blocks and Box blocks are constructed using modular subunits: cutting the same subunits from each of several fabric colors, then mixing-and-matching them in different orientations and color value combinations to create variety and depth. Individual blocks are constructed larger than required, then trimmed, improv-style to create movement in the final piece.
