A simple flannel rag quilt tutorial on how to make a rag strip quilt tutorial in three hours.
3 Hour Workshop Project I've been working on a project I'm submitting to the Wisconsin Quilt Expo next fall (2015) for one of their "Hands On" workshops. This is a class I regularly teach at guild meetings, but since fabrics change so much every year or so I have to make the same sort of quilt again. In this blog, I'll show you some of the steps I took making it. Background fabric The first thing I did was to choose a background fabric. This is a fat quarter of a variegated fabric which will work great for suggesting atmosphere and a forest floor. I knew I wanted to use the golden leaves I blogged about last time, and their color really kicked with this blue/green background. Plus, one of my favorite fall scenes is when just a tree or two has turned while everything else is green. I love that color combination! Background foliage I choose 3 background foliage prints. How NOT to arrange tree trunks Am I building a forest or a jail scene? Lol, don't arrange your tree trunks like jail bars. In my previous blog I showed you how I use dye markers to highlight and shade tree trunks. Since this class is mainly for students to learn how to use these tools and to build up their confidence, most of this scene is tree trunks. (When I teach this class, I bring all of the markers so students only have to buy the fabric kit.) A better arrangement of tree trunks Usually when you make a forest scene, you cut out a bunch of 'messy' cut background foliage before you add your tree trunks. These messy patches are glued down in a random fashion to suggest background leaves and shrubs. Since the important part of this quilt is the tree trunks, I added them first. Messy cut shapes I use the right and the wrong side of fabrics when I cut out these shapes. Notice the shapes - they are not round oval blobs. This is the hardest part of making these landscapes if you ask me. (And I think most of the students in my landscaping classes agree!) Finished arrangement Once everything is glued down (I use a simple glue stick), it is time to stitch the applique patches in place. I use a monofilament thread - using the light/clear with the birch trees and the dark colored nylon for the elm trees. At least I think they are elm. :) Once things are stitched down, I take the quilt top to my cutting board and square up the corners and edges. Then I sew on border fabrics, baste and quilt. Borders added, quilting done. When I finished the quilt, I didn't like the top so much. Those gold leaves weren't quite right with all the greens in the fabrics. Sooo... I added MORE leaves. *Cue Music* It's my party and I can add if I want to. 3 Hour Workshop - Finished (Click for a bigger image if you'd like.) As always, questions and comments are welcome! (And I head back to my happy place where I figure out what I want to do next!)
