Crazy Quilt class, task # 4 assembling the block for stitching

The next task # 3 was a lesson on balance and composition , color and shapes, task #4 required the block to be assembled using the information from the 3rd lesson ( task).   This was easy for me because I am a quilter and I have done a lot of crazy work.  I am not a fan of puzzles and this is a lot like assembling a puzzle.  This exercise is very good for me in that I have to follow directions - I am not so good at that.    If I hadn't been sewing for a while I can see where I would have stalled during the assembly.

 The pattern is traced onto the foundation muslin:

paper pieces are cut out 

Pinned to fabric and cut out

Stitched down and hooped, ready for the embroidery tasks

Not my normal color palette, but by using neutrals, I can focus on the quality of my stitching.

I highly encourage you to try this class, it is always good to be in learning mode! you can go to Kathy's' blog for more info!

Thanks for stopping by!
