Unlock the endless creative possibilities of simple blocks

“Unlock the Simple Block” is all about exploring the captivating world of Controlled Scrappiness. Jen reveals her secrets of transforming ordinary blocks into beautifully coordinated scrappy blocks, unlocking the potential to create quilts that are both wonderfully scrappy and perfectly harmonized. 

The heart of this workshop centres around a one-block quilt focusing on her Shuffled Bricks design for the workshop.

Colour and value are just two of the key elements to transform these one block quilts into dazzling designs.

Get ready to embark on this scrappy adventure with Jen as she guides you step by step.

Suitable for all levels of quilters.
