This technique is seriously one of my top favorites, and I’m always excited to share how much I believe in it—so much that I even wrote a book about it!
At its heart, this technique is all about playing around with blocks. It’s like giving yourself permission to be creative and explore all the “what ifs?” that come to mind. That question is super powerful; it can really spark your imagination and help you think outside the box.
Just imagine taking different elements and mixing them up to see what new combos you can create. Whether you’re doing art, writing, or solving problems, this approach lets you take some fun risks and discover amazing results. It’s all about making mistakes and learning from them, so you get closer to those unique ideas that stand out.
By engaging in this kind of playful experimentation with quilting, you’re not just sharpening your stitching skills—you’re also building a mindset that’s curious and ready to bounce back from any quilting mishap. Every quilt you create, win or lose, adds to your toolbox of techniques and makes your quilting journey that much richer.
