Taught by Anna Maria Horner
In Anna Maria Horner's Three-Part Harmony Quilt, you'll learn how to create balance and movement in your design simply by focusing on color tones. Using small squares of fabric and half-square triangles, this quilt practically glows, encouraging your eye to move from block to block and shade to shade. While the construction of this quilt is simple, the design is made dynamic through the arrangement and placement of light, medium and dark fabrics. Use this technique to make an impactful quilt in any size.

  • Categorize printed fabrics by light, medium, and dark tones
  • Accurately and efficiently pre-cut squares of fabric
  • Cut and sew half-square triangles
  • Design a quilt top by tone instead of color on a flat surface or design wall
  • Sew a patchwork block using chain-piecing technique
