Strip Piecing (13:22)
Get started by sorting out (or cutting up) your fabric scraps for improvisational piecing. Christina shows you how to sew them together to form stripes, rail fence blocks and shapes. Plus, see how diagonal strips add movement to your patchwork.

Crumb Piecing (13:08)
Even the smallest fabric pieces can be used to create something beautiful! Learn to piece tiny scraps, or “crumbs,” into longer strips. Christina shares tips on pairing crumb strips and keeping your sewing moving for unexpected combinations.

Log Cabins (15:11)
No need to be precise for this traditional quilt block! Find out how to build your improv piece from the center out with tips for chain piecing multiple blocks. Then look at other variations, including partial log cabins, unique block settings and angled log cabins.

Leftover Shapes & Orphan Blocks (13:22)
What to do with those leftover shapes and pieced blocks you have lying around? Christina shows you how to marry precision-cut and improv pieces with ease using a few different techniques.

Composition & Quilting (20:25)
Combine the patchwork you made to create two fabric panels. These will become the front and back of your tote. Put the pieces together with a contrast fabric bottom, then quilt them with simple straight lines.

Sew the Market Tote (13:21)
Build your confidence by sewing the more intricate Monarch block along with Elizabeth. You’ll construct four templates, then sew them together to create one quarter-block — yes, that’s 16 templates in the completed block! And you can do it!
