Original Art Quilt – Enlargement and Construction
Have you ever looked at a photograph you took on a trip and wished you could transform it into a quilt? Or, have you done a drawing that you want to interpret using fabric? In this class, students will learn how to enlarge an original design to wall quilt size. In the second session, students will start construction of the quilt top using the color scheme you choose. Your quilt can be based on designs from the “Elements of Design for Art Quilts” class, an original drawing or original photo. You will need to choose your original design inspiration before the first class, and bring it with you.Each student’s final quilt will be her/his own original design. The class example is the instructor’s original based on her photograph.
