Improvisational Quilts
Session Seven: August 11-16
Annabel Lowe Wrigley
Improvisational Quilts
This workshop is all about color and the emotions that come from working with it. Using interesting and intuitive color combinations, students will explore different improvisational piecing techniques to create meaningful compositions. We will leave quilting perfectionism and perfect points at the door and dive into the beauty of creating interesting shapes and curves. Working with a selection of solid colored fabrics, students will focus on combinations that create emotion while experimenting with different piecing and construction techniques. We will explore finishing techniques and facing options for hanging. The goal is for each student to complete one piece. All levels. Third-floor textiles studio.
