Susan Braverman Workshop: Circle Secrets

Susan Braverman of Wild Poppy Quilts will be sharing her Circle Secrets with the Austin Modern Quilt Guild!

Be fearless with curvy alternate gridwork!  Students will explore how to create dynamic, vibrant designs that use quarter, half and whole circles.  Students will work on a 24" x 24" project to apply these strategies.  Susan will share her best tips and tricks for circular piecing, rectangular fitting components and construction sequencing.  Take home what you learn to unleash your imagination and go off the grid.  Curved templates and design maps will be provided.
