Fussy & Fabulous: Let the Fabric Work FOR You!
Does striped fabric give you anxiety? Do you see a large-scale, repetitive print and immediately think “border”? Through lots of examples and wonderful quilts and tops, Kelly will show you how to take these challenging and sometimes perplexing fabrics and turn them into blocks that add extraordinary visual and textural depth to your quilts! You may never look at fabric in the same way again!
Kelly is the author of Hexagons, Diamonds, Triangles, and More: Skill-Building Techniques for 60-Degree Patchwork (2014) and her new book, Spinners, Spirals, & Stars: Hexagons WITH Movement and WITHOUT “Y-Seams”! (2023) - and her obsession with 60-degree patchwork continues, though she enjoys participating in and teaching a variety of quilt-making techniques.
