Based on the book Quilt As-You- Go Made Modern by Jera Brandvig, this technique allows you to quilt on small, manageable size blocks for a unique, all you style! You can experiment with an improvisational style of quilting that stimulates your creativity and satisfies the soul. You may bring your own blocks (any design) to quilt and/or Joey will provide you with some practice blocks.
