6 inch squares...........

One of the items we offered to the Colorwash 360 class participants is packs of 6" squares in both Kaffe Fassett fabric and in batik.  There are 2 different kits available in each.  The idea for these is that you can either fussy cut or random cut 2.5" squares from them
In this example I would be cutting an area with just red flowers.









On this one I would be fussy cutting the area with the purple flowers with one green twig.







This shows the random cut just straight across in both directions to give me four 2.5" squares.  I could cut this way with rotary cutter and ruler or with my die cutter.

I'm going to be cutting a lot of extra squares for my own colorwash art both fussy cutting and random cutting.





I'm trying to center a flower in this 2.5" square.










In this photo I am centering on a dark area.  This allows for a lot more variety and lots of choices makes a colorwash even better.


Just 2 days left to enroll in my new Online Course COLORWASH 360 with a Bonus: 40 day Virtual Workshop with me. We have students from across the world enrolled and excited to get started on Oct 1. Click HERE to learn more.


I have an idea for a new quilt brewing and I hope to start on it later this week.  Meanwhile I'll keep sewing the neutral 16 patch blocks.

I enjoyed seeing how you took a 6" square and showed how you created 4 uniquely different pieces. Your see through plastic ruler is the magical tool. But it takes the magician to see it before. (*._.*)

Fun post today Wanda, with a sneak peek into your Colorwash class. I know those that have enrolled will experience the thrill of a lifetime with your personal tutoring of creating a Colorwash piece.
