About the design.
The Currents design abstractly represents the concept of wu wei - a central principle in Chinese and especially Daoist philosophy. The term literally translates to “non-doing.” While a common misconception, it is not about inaction; rather, it suggests we not resist forces outside of our control, and instead mindfully - and less effortlessly - respond by harnessing these winds & currents to advance our proverbial boat.
This fun, undulating design is a great introduction to curves with its large, forgiving blocks. Play around with color placement, and explore the many variations of this fun - and surprisingly quick! - quilt pattern.

For extra guidance & confidence, add the Currents Quilt Workshop. In this companion on-demand course, you can sew along with Brooke at your own pace with 20+ videos of demonstrations, guidance & all the helpful tips you'd get in a live workshop - from fabric selection considerations to final quilting design suggestions. Access to your workshop never expires, so watch the videos as often as you like, or whenever you need a refresher. Post in the Thinkific course platform to get help if you get stuck.
Note: The companion workshop is a supplement to - not a replacement for - the Currents quilt pattern. The pattern includes templates, cutting measurements & diagrams, and other instructions required for successful completion of your Currents quilt top.
