*Pro-Stitcher 501: Design Decisions In Motion Retreat
Every quilter knows that moment — you pin up a quilt top, step back, and think:
“Well… now what?”
At Design Decisions In Motion Retreat, you’ll learn how to look at a quilt and instantly know how to bring it to life.
This retreat turns design decision paralysis into confidence. You’ll study shapes, textures, and layout flow, and learn how to match quilting motifs to the personality of each quilt. By the end, you’ll not only see possibilities — you’ll hear them whispering to you.
What You’ll Learn
- How to “read” a quilt top and identify key design zones.
- Match motifs, fills, and patterns to enhance piecing.
- Create design maps for complete quilting plans.
- Balance density, scale, and direction for harmony.
- Build confidence choosing designs on your own.
