It is our hope that this series will give you the skills to look at a quilt block, understand what type of block it is, and to know how to make it yourself without a pattern because you understand the math behind its structure. By understanding these things, we hope to give you the confidence to adapt different quilt blocks to your needs, whether it be resizing a block or drafting a block entirely from scratch.
The schedule below gives you an idea of the topics we will be covering, but it is very flexible so if you have particular things you would like us to discuss, let us know.
We will be posting on each of these topics on Thursdays - but we have developed a very relaxed schedule given holidays, work and family committments. I will update this page with the relevant links as they become available. Over time, this page will also become a resource with information like where to find graph paper online, and links to other useful pages.

ah! I see where you are headed with this. It'll be good! I have the basics down. I can resize the simpler blocks which I prefer to complicated blocks anyhoo. But even after the figuring I find a construction paper model in finished size clarifies everything. This'll be good!
