Take your quilting confidence even further as Christina shows you how to flow from stitching one design to the next. You'll discover how to choose motifs that play off of each other, as well as how to fill in space organically and avoid square edges.
Get into a stitching rhythm by combining motifs into a consistent pattern. Christina will help you select the shapes you want to connect and improve the consistency of your designs with her counting technique.
Learn how to create delightfully dynamic stitch designs in vertical layers. Next, find out how to add visual interest with partial layers. Christina will also give you tips for filling in the open space left by partial layers.
No one likes a showboat, unless it's an attention-grabbing quilt design! Find out how these motifs can improve your finished quilts by pulling your viewer's eye to a breathtaking focal point. Christina will even show you how you can use multiple showboat motifs for a breathtaking all-over design.
Christina will help you really get wild as you bring together all the techniques you've learned into one beautiful, personalized quilt! Along the way, she'll guide you through design considerations for working on a small or large-scale project.
