Grid Work

A Modular Approach to Improvisation + Proportion

Grid Work is all about exploring repetition, rhythm, and variation. This course walks you through two construction approaches—strip piecing and regular piecing—along with ways to add improv curves and gentle waves for a more organic feel.

It’s a great prompt for understanding proportion and visual weight, and how tiny changes in size or color placement can shift the whole design.

Whether you follow the pattern exactly or use it as a jumping-off point, you’ll come away with techniques that can apply across all your quilting.

What You’ll Learn in the Gridwork Course

• How to build blocks with both strip piecing and regular piecing

•Techniques for sewing gentle improv curves

The months study material is put together with thought, great step-by-step video material to go back to for reference and the monthly zooms and sew along is great. Highly recommended. So many tips and trick learned through out this course.
