Learn to use simple design principles to create unique improvisational quilts. Without using patterns, learn 5 easy piecing techniques to add to your improvisational toolbox—angled stripes, circles, blocks, curved strips, and inset strips—and watch the art unfold before your eyes. Focus on colour combos and negative space to discover your personal style, and then add dazzling texture with freemotion stitching. With finished art quilts as unique as you are, you’ll want to hang one in every room!
