S107 – Octagon Rose: Create a Sparkling Gem Block
$70.00
MJ Kinman
Location:
One daySaturday, January 23rd 2021
From 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM
Class Type: Domestic Machine Work
Skill Level: Beginner - Intermediate
Description: Using the same freezer-paper piecing techniques I've used to create my giant diamond quilts, students will create their own singularly beautiful work of faceted light. I created the Octagon Rose pattern after being inspired by this lovely octagonal crystal. This is not foundation paper-piecing! We won’t sew to paper foundations so there’s no paper to tear out of the back of your quilt top. This is traditional piecing that uses freezer paper as your templates. If you can sew two pieces of fabric together with a 1/4-inch seam allowance, you can do this! In this 3-hour live, online class, students will learn…. • Multiple ways to manipulate value contrast across colors to create a sparkling gem • How certain types of fabrics (i.e. solids, prints, ombres, hand-dyes, or hand-painted fabric) impact the flow of light and color across a gem • How to read the codes printed on each facet to understand how to piece their gem • How to customize their gem into additional facets if desired • No-pressure piecing techniques that result in a lovely, 14” square gem block The pattern is divided into 7” x 7” quadrants, each of which can be downloaded as a PDF document and printed onto sheets of freezer paper. Students may purchase commercially available freezer paper sheets from suppliers like C&T Publishing or they may purchase a roll of freezer paper from their local grocery store and cut 8.5” x 11” sheets to run through their home printer. (Please note that neither waxed paper nor parchment paper is appropriate for this class. Freezer paper allows you to draw or print a pattern on one side. On the other side, freezer paper has a plastic substance on the back which allows the paper template to adhere to fabric when you to press it with a hot iron without leaving a residue.) At the end of our time together, students will have created a 14” square gem block that can be used in many different ways. Examples will be provided.
