4012C - Randomly Pieced Backgrounds - Finishing Your Quilt Top

Thursday, January 18th 2024 One day

From 8:30 am to 11:30 am

Faculty: Grace Errea

Fee $53.00



Skill Level: All Levels

Description: Have you ever struggled trying to find just the right background fabric for your wonderful future quilt? Sometimes the colors, values, and textures are just not working. You visited every store in the neighborhood and still nothing! In this class we will demonstrate how to create Grace's Randomly Pieced backgrounds. We will discuss fabric selection for backgrounds that are dynamic and showcase the focal point. We will also discuss how to “mix” the fabrics so that they create a smooth, flawless background for a quilt. We will show you how to change value and colors smoothly, how to plan your color/value scheme so that the background works compatibly with the focal point(s) that will be attached to it. This is a piecing process but the key here is that the shapes are placed and stitched Randomly so not only you will control the look of your background but you will also have ease of piecing as there are NO points that meet in this pieced background unlike some controlled pieced stitching.
