Description: Improv meets foundation paper piecing meets mystery quilt. Need I say more?! Join Giucy Giuce as he demonstrates his foundation paper pieced approach to improv sewing in this BRAND NEW workshop, Controlled Chaos: An FPPers Approach to improv! We'll draw improvisational elements at random from a bag. You will then learn to draft your own improv-inspired FPP designs based off the mystery element. The motifs will be the same but everyone's pieces will be uniquely their own! We’ll cover all sorts of looks and styles. Triangles, flying geese, stripes, wonky shapes. Whether you're an FPPer who loves the look of improv but long for the structure of paper piecing or you're an improv sewist looking for a new way to approach your work, this workshop truly has something for everyone. In the workshop we will make an 18" pillow top/mini quilt, but you will also receive an inspiration packet with ideas for using the technique to make a quilt. Bring an adventurous spirit to what is sure to be an exciting class you won't want to miss!
