The Vancouver Modern Quilt Guild invites non-members to join us for my Courthouse Colourplay class on Sunday, April 28th at the Croatian Cultural Centre in Vancouver from 10 am to 5 pm. All of the info is here. The price for non-members is $80.
Explore the possibilities of colour expression and free-cutting without rulers while you create this wonky, nested Courthouse Step quilt (reminiscent of paper lanterns) in your own personal colour story.
I made this wallhanging for the MQG miniquilt swap at QuiltCon2018
We’ll work intuitively from the center out, creating a dynamic quilt with loads of personality. There will be no squaring up with this one — instead I'll show you how to “build out”, finding the fit between adjacent blocks and using up all of your scraps in the process.
This one is a baby or small lap quilt with 25 blocks.
As in all of my workshops, I'll share loads of tips while encouraging all students to find confidence in new techniques. Put your patchwork and rotary cutting skills to work and explore improvisational design and piecing in a fun, supportive environment! The supply list includes ideas, resources and tips for selecting your colours. Make a wall-hanging with F8's or a lap quilt with FQ's or 12" WOF cuts. A layer cake of solids or tone on tones like grunge could even work with some prudent cutting ; )
This one, Emerald Court, has 16 blocks with slightly wider strips. It's about 40" square. It's made entirely of Northcott solids that I loved working with! No fraying and a lovely hand. I'm currently hand-quilting it with Aurifil 12 wt and Aurifloss.
