Required Supplies: - Gradient of 3-5 sunset colors of fabric, 5” x 24” rectangles of each. Kitty recommends working with solid fabrics for this, and will have kits available for purchase nearer to QuiltCon for those of you who want help with the color flow fabric selection!
- Contrasting gradient of two (2) mountain colors of fabric, 24” x 18” each. A darker and lighter tone of the same color works well for the mountains. For example a dark purple and a lighter purple, or a dark blue and a lighter blue.
- White fabric for highlights, 12” x 18”. (You will not use all of this, and could use scrap strips of white fabric, but having a larger cut makes the process easier when learning.)
- Rotary cutter, small mat, and quilting ruler with a 1/4” measure. Shared supplies will also be available but you may wish to have your own to maximize you workshop time.
- Seam ripper
- Pins
Prep Requirements: Bring fabrics cut to the sizes noted in the Required Supplies list and you'll be ready to dive in!
Set off fearlessly with Kitty as she teaches students how to piece an improv mountain range wall hanging, full of adventurous skill building. In sewing the unique and nestled mountains, students will learn how to piece gentle improv curves, precise thin strips, and how to think through the order of operations when piecing more complex blocks. Kitty will demonstrate how some pre-planning can set students up for success with off the beaten path designs. Playing with both color gradients and creative piecing methods, students will leave with more confidence to dive into improvisationally pieced quilt construction, ready to head off the grid and embrace the adventure!
