Instant Art Quilts in Orlando: Part One
In about five hours, the ladies in this class tore up their gorgeous fabrics, rearranged them into beautiful compositions, added exciting accent fabrics, and quilted their quilts. How’s that for instant?
Here’s Sharon hard at work, followed by a photo of her in-progress quilt.

She later added a few more accent pieces to the right side of her quilt.
Check out Susan’s quilt. Can you say “bright?” Very dramatic!
Fay did an excellent job selecting an accent fabric. She used tiny pieces of very dark blue – just like the darkest color already in her fabric. (She only needed small bits because of the high contrast.) Fay placed them well to enhance her composition.
Diane’s quilt has lovely soft colors. And her stitching really enhances the zigzag effect I love. As a matter of fact, it gives her piece an almost transparent appearance. (Click to see)
The students and I sure do have fun in these classes!
