AnglePlay™ Workshop

Description

In this two-day workshop students explore the creative possibilities for a classic shape: the half-rectangle triangle. This shape is versatile because of the "change in the angle" it brings to the pieced surface; no more are quilters restricted to 90 and 45 degree angles only! Day one is design, based on blocks as well as modules; day two is creating with fabric! Students come away with hundreds of design ideas and a quilt top well under way. They will never look at patchwork design in quite the same way again!

MillerQuilts AnglePlay™ templates will be on hand for students to try, and will also be available for sale at the workshop.
