Learn to create one-of-a-kind improvisational shapes with inset piecing! Students will learn how to create one-of-a-kind improvisational shapes using inset piecing. Starting with Dale Fleming’s “6-Minute Circle” technique, students will explore how to inset curves and build bold, dynamic forms—such as squircles, rainbows, rings, and more. This workshop is packed with tips, ideas, and playful experimentation designed to help quilters push their piecing skills in exciting new directions.
