Description
Follow this innovative 3-step technique for adding layers of visual interest to representational quilts-from the author of
Artful Log Cabin Quilts.
Simple steps will take your quilts to an exciting new level! Katie walks you through making a simple block using her 3 steps: Make a design based on a photo or drawing. Add a "ghost" layer that is lighter or darker than the base blocks colors. Create a color wash that allows use of even more colors in the quilt.
- Blocks are constructed using raw-edge or turned-edge applique.
- Includes Katie's Seven Step Program for choosing perfect fabric combinations.
- Full-color photos of incredible quilts by Katie and her students will inspire you to let the magic begin!
