QU 2017 Friday – Stack ‘N Whack – Jean Coleman
Jean Coleman’s objective in teaching this Friday class is for you to learn the technique to achieve this kaleidoscope effect. She plans to teach a block with 4 repeats. You will probably end up with 16 or 20 blocks. What you do with these blocks is up to you. You could make them into place mats, a table runner, a lap quilt, a baby quilt, or a throw. If you like what you have and want to make it into something large, add borders or go back to the store where you purchased the fabric and buy more to make more blocks. A different horizontal cut from the same fabric will yield an entirely different set of blocks. Learn more about Jean in our blog interview.

The lure of indigo is strong — the classic blue and white combination found in many Japanese textiles is cool, crisp, and so appealing. From classic kimonos to denim jeans, indigo has been used by many cultures for dyeing cloth, and the Japanese have refined the use of indigo to an art form. This is the class to use all those lovely blue and white shibori fabrics you’ve dyed yourself, or use carefully curated blue and white fabrics from your stash. Each participant will develop a simple geometric block design based on unfolded origami shapes, set a theme and create variations, and combine them into the beginning of a fresh and modern mini quilt top.
The class runs from 9:30 AM-4:00 PM Eastern Time with a 1/2 hour break for lunch. The Zoom classroom opens at 9:00 AM and students should be online by 9:15 AM.
