Instant Art Quilt in Orlando: Part Two
More great results from the Orlando Instant Art Quilt class!
Joyce did an excellent job with her quilt. The darker accent squares and the tiny accent pieces move the eye around very well.
Kate’s wonderful fabric produced exciting results. And she enhanced that with her little accent pieces. She plans to do lots of beading to this. Won’t that be awesome?
These last two fabrics are somewhat atypical. But, they still worked well for the IAQ technique.
Kathryn used a beautiful piece of silk that she dyed. Not only are the colors wonderful, but the stitching resist technique used in the dyeing proecess produced very interesting little “stitching trails.” Kathryn plans to play up the leaf shapes with her quilting.
Tami’s block printed fabric was unlike anything previously used in an IAQ class. Which made it very interesting. She plans to enlarge the fabric motif and create a tulle applique in that shape. Wonderful idea!
As always in this class, the students embraced new ideas, came up with creative options, and produced wonderful quilts. So much fun for me!
You can see the first round of photos here.
