I bought some unique batiks in the 1990s that make very interesting backings. You can see the look of the large scale stripe backing and the quilt top I'll pair with it.
It's time to start basting again. I'm excited to finish this one because its a sample for my class.
It's been almost two years since I've offered my Colorwash class (which is how to master color and value). A lot of you have been asking when it would be offered again...and I'm happy to say, very soon.
I created a die cut kit...quite a few kits...for students with limited fabric supply. This quilt top is made from one of those kits. I always test the kit to be sure it's sufficient to complete the project. No two Colorwash are alike because it's not a formula quilt, it's a process of intuitive design that I teach.
The next top I will baste after this one is bigger. It has 31 more pieces, also a class sample and kit.
We have a waitlist you can get on if you are interested in taking Colorwash 360.

Really, over two years already? It will be a grand time for people to see the quilt come alive with glowing colors. The batiks are beautiful!
I love the older batiks--that is a pretty one...nice that you can offer your Colorwash Class once again...
47 here and windy--feels much colder...hugs, Julierose
The striped batik is gorgeous!
it doesn't seem like it has been that long since you offered that class. time flies
For anyone waffling on this -
I took the class 2 years ago. It's well worth the $/time/work, and I do mean work! Then to get feedback from you on our work, bonus. Seeing the other students' work and your comments on those were an extra added bonus.
Just out of curiosity - at the end(?) of the class, you had a poll on possible future classes we'd be interested in. Are any of those still in the works, or was there not enough of a clear direction on what to offer? Or have you decided the Colorwash 360 class is enough to take care of?
2 years ago? Oh my. I took that class, too. My colorwash is pieced, but I'm embarrassed to say, it's not quilted. No good reason. I bought the threads and it doesn't require intricate quilting. Perhaps I will quilt it while you're teaching the new class.

Always love to see your color wash pieces. Like a rainbow burst.

I used a unique batik very much like the one in your photo. It was part of a destash gift from a friend.
