Quilts in the Tradition of Frank Lloyd Wright, Taught by Jackie Robinson

Based on art glass designed by Mr. Wright, patchwork for quilting can be very exciting. Explore the use of strata sets and diagonal cuts to create a design which is full of new techniques. Each student will select one of these four 'windows' to create in class. 2-3 days. Intermediate quilters.

Bring to class:
          Your FAVORITE Sewing Machine with GOOD 1/4" foot
          FL Wright book (available at class)
          Rotary cutter
          Rotary cutting mat
          Rotary cutting ruler - with both a 45 and 60 degree lines on it
          Scissors or Thread Snips
          Reverse Stitching Tool (ripper)
          Black or Dark colored thread
          Cushion to Sit on
          Small trash bag .

Before class, cut 25 strips of Black - 3/4" x width of fabric
Bring remainder of Black to class.

About the background fabric: It should be a very pale pastel or other light neutral. I doubt that you want muslin, but a light beige about that value would be good or very pale grey. Parchment and Shell from Springs work well. Very pale pastels - very pale. Probably not white, as white is SOOO white.
