Join me live on Zoom for a fun class! Dive into color, value, and improvisational design using the well known four Patch block. In this class, we will work through my easy approach to creating a cohesive color palette, paying particular attention to value and contrast. You will then put those colors to good use, letting both the palette and the quilt design evolve as you create! This quilt was inspired by deciding to limit my choices and work with the simple Four Patch block. Limitations are wonderful for creating set parameters to work with and open up a field of possibilities to concentrate on color, value and design. With fewer distractions of learning new sewing techniques, you can wholly focus on your color play and layout. We will cover all the steps of the design in this class, from auditioning colors to the role of value in creating movement, and go step by step through each aspect of the design process.
