Mouse Trap is designed to help you move beyond learning techniques—and into refining how you use them.

🧩 How the course is structured
Block-by-block progression
Each lesson builds on the last, helping you build confidence and control as you move through increasingly complex blocks.
Refined piecing skills
You’ll work with more intricate construction and techniques that require greater accuracy and attention to detail.
Design + composition focus
You won’t just make blocks—you’ll learn how to arrange them into cohesive, intentional quilt layouts.
🎨 Explore multiple quilt layouts
Instead of following a single layout, you’ll explore how different arrangements change the feel of your quilt.
The Mouse Trap pattern includes:
- 4 abstract, design-forward layouts
- 3 traditional block-based layouts
- A build-your-own layout section with simple graphics to help you experiment
Inside the course, I guide you through how to use these layouts so you can:
- repeat blocks
- omit others
- explore different arrangements
👉 This is where the quilt becomes your own.
🎯 What you’ll walk away with
- Greater accuracy and precision in your piecing
- Confidence working with more complex construction
- A deeper understanding of quilt composition
- The ability to make more intentional design decisions
- A finished quilt that reflects your own creative choices
- A stronger sense of how to design and arrange your quilts
