This week, I attended a Zoom class through Forsyth Piecers and Quilters Guild. It was a workshop with Kelly Ashton from Kellyquilter.com. She considers it her mission to teach Y seams. Check out her website.
I purchased a kit that contained patterns and acrylic templates to make tumbling blocks and inner city blocks. The templates have many features that allow cutting and sewing precision.
It was a great class and I have improved my skills. I doubt that I will make a huge quilt with this method but it will be great for smaller wall hangings and possibly tote bags.
Here is a picture of my blocks. I still have a few more to finish. Right now, this is a WIP. (work in progress!)
I love 3D blocks and quilts and the way you place the fabric and use values in the colors makes this very 3D.
Until next time, Happy Sewing!
Janet
