Set Your Sampler Blocks…Afloat! Workshop

Description

Come and play with a novel way of creating a refreshing setting for sampler blocks! Set them "afloat" on a sea of simple repeat elements — Rail Fence Blocks! We will work with two- or three-strip Rail Fence Blocks, possibly combined with four patches, to create a mosaic background for whatever blocks you bring. Quilts with sample blocks afloat on Easy Pieces and Strips That Sizzle will also be shown. (If you are familiar with these techniques from Margaret's books, you're welcome to work with these in the workshop.)

This is a great way to maneuver value around your sampler blocks to make a rich and dramatic setting for them — and to learn a lot about value and color, almost in spite of yourself!
