Get Started in Improv Quilting!

Let’s talk creative blocks — we’ve all been there. Take it from Timna Tarr, an art quilter who found a cure in the form of Strip Sandwiches. Put together basic improvisational piecing and play with color combinations using Timna’s Strip Sandwiches technique, perfect for getting out of your head and back into your quilting. They are easy to make, incredibly forgiving, and can be tailored to quilts of all shapes and sizes.

Strip Sandwiches is so much more than just an improv quilt course. If you need a creative jump start or have ever wanted to try out an easy improv technique, this class is a great way to get started. Value and color placement in quilts is a significant component of the workshop. Timna demonstrates the basic skills needed to create your own sandwiches, a scrap, charm pack, and jelly roll-friendly technique.
