If you want to add to your modern quilting design tool kit, break away from a traditional grid layout with your next design. Donna McLeod, an Individual MQG member, explains what alternate grid work means and how it differs from traditional grid layouts. Donna also shows how using other elements of modern design, like asymmetry, negative space, and cropping, achieve an alternate grid layout. She shares many examples to help you visualize this, as well as gives you tips on how to play with grids using tools you may already have on hand.
