Embrace the Chaos - An Exercise in Controlled Randomness

25 seats

CIAMQG Registration now open; guest registration opens Feb 1st, 2026 if seats remain.

Libs’ Course Description: Using only paper and pencils - no computers required! - I will walk students through a series of worksheet exercises that mimic the programming language I use to generate my quilt patterns. By using controlled elements in a random way, each participant will end up with a unique quilt pattern layout - no two Chaos Quilts are the same!

As a group, we’ll discuss design flow and tweak our individual layouts. Then we’ll cut fabrics and work on piecing our designs, using provided block-building instructions. At the end of the class, each participant will leave with her/his/their own random geometric quilt design and will have the knowledge required to complete the project.
