Art Quilt Technique Art Quilt Technique: These are small page sized (usually 8 ½ x 11 ) quilts that are non-verbal chronicles of your inner thoughts much like a written journal. There are no rules; thoughts, dreams, memories, events, emotions you choose what you want to express. For the best results, Journal Quilts should be small and constructed in a manner that allows for fairly quick completion. The frequency with which you choose to create them is up to you though many quilters make one a month. The subject matter can vary from quilt to quilt, whatever happened to inspire you this time or you can pick a theme you wish to explore on a continual basis. This monthly class will serve two purposes. One, to learn techniques to try on your quilt or help in the design process; the other, to show and share your previous Journal Quilts with the others. Though it will be an ongoing class, you can join at any point and come to as many or few sessions as you wish.
