In this workshop we will be looking at images of quilts from the past and finding links to practices today to use as inspiration for designing our own modern version. We will look at modern interpretations of historical blocks and discuss what makes the same practices from days gone by evolve into modern quilts. Students will then each choose a block or blocks from the past and design their own modern version taking inspiration from what has gone before and turning it into something modern.
