String quilts are an easy, fun, and an effective way to use scraps while playing with color and value. The techniques used are extremely forgiving and can be tailored to quilts of all shapes and sizes. In this workshop Timna will show examples of different types of string quilts and students will learn the construction process, but the real magic happens through experimentation with color and pattern. By making small compositions with intentional design decisions, everyone will modernize the humble string quilt into a unique contemporary piece. Color theory and improvisation techniques will be major components of this workshop and is beginner friendly. Participants should have basic quilting skills such as an ability to sew blocks together with 1/4″ seam and know how to use their sewing machine.
