Take your quilting to the next level with the bold, versatile Half Rectangle Triangle (HRT)!
In this immersive three-day workshop, you’ll master the techniques for cutting, sewing, and trimming perfect HRTs — then discover just how limitless they are as a design tool.
Beyond standard shapes like chevrons, diamonds and arrows we’ll explore whole quilt designs, radiating layouts and inventive block based designs. You’ll build a “design vocabulary” of HRT-based blocks and explore how color, scale, and proportion transform them into show-stopping quilts. With plenty of guided design play, you’ll experiment on the design wall, sketch layouts, and scale your ideas into a finished quilt top that’s uniquely your own.
By the end of class, you’ll leave with:
- A full toolkit for making HRTs in all sizes and ratios with accuracy and confidence.
- A solid start to a quilt top of your own design (or series of mini compositions).
- A deeper understanding of design principles you can apply to any quilt.
Whether you love clean modern lines or even love fresh traditional shapes, HRT Design School will open up a whole new world of creative possibility.
