Caryl's series of "ILLUSION" quilts explore the illusion
of overlapping transparent triangles. In this class each student will
construct a small sample 16" x 22" rectangle, to learn the
basic concept behind the "ILLUSION" quilts. This can be
made into a 25" x 30" wall quilt, with the addition of a
border. Once you have learned the basic techniques you will be able
to develop your own variations on "ILLUSIONS".

Supplies Needed:
FABRIC:
-
Three sets of eight graduated colors
(Hand dyed gradations available from the Bryerpatch Studio Internet Store: www.bryerpatch.com or similar)
You can use the same set of colors three times, or you can use three different sets of colors.Naturally the more colors you use, the more colorful your wall quilt will be. A fat eighth yard (18" x 10") (1/2 meter x 1/4 the width of the fabric) of each color will be enough to complete the center rectangle, even if you use the same set of colors three times.-
You may bring your own fabric from home. Solid colors work best. If you bring prints, bring small, very low contrast prints.
OR -
Fabric kits of graduated colors will also be available for sale in the class. These can be previewed in our Internet Store
-
-
½ yard of solid black or other very dark color.
-
1 yard, coordinating print fabric for your outer border, quilt back, and hanging sleeve. Large prints in colors to match your graduated strips work well. Splash or Ombre Stripe from the Benartex Glacier Park Collection are recommended. (Check your local quilt shop or www.bryerpatch.com)
