CROSSWALK

EXPLORE RHYTHM, COLOR & PROPORTION THROUGH SIMPLE STRING PIECING!

Block Studies is a series of video courses designed to inspire you to play with color, learn new techniques, and reduce the fear of trying something new by working on small quilt studies using step-by-step instructions, a suggested color palette, and creative prompts.

The videos are packed with tips, techniques, and creative prompts to help you build your skills and create a quilt study that feels uniquely yours.

What You’ll Learn in the Course

In the Crosswalk video course, you will explore lessons on:

• Strip piecing and column construction
• Color and value placement
• How proportion affects rhythm and movement
• Working with narrow and wide strips
• Straight and curved piecing variations
• Block variation lessons to explore design
Liquid error: internal

No right or wrong way to make these blocks

This course is designed to encourage creative exploration. Follow the pattern closely or use it as a springboard to invent your own variations—both approaches are equally valid.

Crosswalk is all about embracing play and seeing where your instincts lead you!
