Workshop Description: 

Learn how to turn the tiniest scraps into a beautiful quilt. In this class we will discuss tint, tone, shade, value and scale to take your tiniest scraps and turn them into one-of-a-kind textiles. We will use this new fabric to make a simple tulip block, but once you master this technique, there is no limit to what you can create.


Brita's simple, organized method for assembling your curated crumbs results in fabric that is part planned, part free-form and totally fun!

Instructor Bio: 
In April of 2017, Brita retired from work, moved back to PA and devoted herself to serious quilting and sharing her passion for quilting. She is well-known for her YouTube videos on disappearing blocks.
