Aether Quilt

This class is for all levels of quilters.

Make an Orange Peel quilt without any curved piecing!

Creating the Aether Quilt is straightforward, but it’s the color placement that truly brings this quilt to life. The Orange Peels transition seamlessly from one color to another, forming a vibrant rainbow that gracefully cascades across the quilt. Complementing this effect are the ombré background pieces, which serve to tie the entire composition together. In this class, we will delve into the art of color placement, exploring concepts such as scale, hue, and value. Additionally, we will cover various appliqué techniques, ensuring that quilters of all skill levels can participate and create their own stunning Aether Quilt

THERAPY AND METAMORPHOSIS

In this class, we delve into the fascinating realm of color and value manipulation, demonstrating how these two elements can transform a single block into a visually striking quilt.

Utilizing a primary background fabric sourced from a single piece of ombre yardage, students are guided through a methodical process of extracting dark, medium, and light values from the fabric. This approach not only expedites the quilt-making process but also infuses the design with an inherent sense of drama and allure. Vibrant pops of color are introduced through scrap fabrics, further enhancing the quilt’s visual impact.

Whether you’re already proficient in paper piecing or looking to refine your skills, this class offers invaluable insights and techniques. Participants will learn practical paper piecing hacks, gaining newfound confidence in their abilities and mastery of both paper piecing and color placement principles by the end of the session.
