Shifting Perspectives
Quilters have used the repetitive block as a design format for centuries. Lorraine will guide you through her unique process that couples traditional techniques with very contemporary finished quilts. Using a Multi-view lens, design an abstract block from what you see around you. Simplify it until it is easy to piece & reproduce it nine times as a 15-inch block. Then, imitating what happens to images seen through the lens, cut each one in a different place, producing an image that shifts as it travels across the quilt. The approach sounds simple, but the results are stunning. Beginner quilters (with some piecing experience) very welcome! 2 days, March 10 + 11
