Floral Improv in Charlotte

Gee, I’ve been teaching so much that I haven’t had time to update my blog with all the great student results.

These are the results from a February “Floral Improv” class in Charlotte, NC. With only 7 students, we had plenty of room to spread out and within the first few minutes colorful flowers were developing.

They look great on dark backgrounds, don’t they? And here are the resulting quilts at the end of the day, made by Eve and Judy, respectively.

Those colors POP!

Of course, softer colors work equally well. As demonstrated beautifully by Robin and Liz, below.

And why not have use blue flowers? Sara and Marguerite did so very effectively.

Rounding out the selection is this great quilt made by another Judy.

The quilting is very important on these quilts.  Especially on the poppies, which need some additional definition. See how much the black stitching helps? I recommend a double pass with a rather sketchy line.
