Modern Group—July 19—Compositional Elements
Next month we will be looking at the various compositional elements which are a part of planning and putting together a quilt. These will include Minimalism, Proportion, Scale & Balance, Rule of Thirds, Lines and how the mathematical theory of Fibonacci can be used in quilt design.
 At the end of meeting there will be a choice of two practice options: t the end of meeting there
Proportion Exercise:   You will need  a selection of 4 different colored paper or card cut into:
 2 x 2” square
4 x 3” square
3 x 6” square
 Lines Exercise: You will need:
 4” x 5” square fabric sandwich for quilting, using plain fabric
Different colored threads
Fabric Marker
10’ x 15” paper
Pencil
Ruler
 This exercise will be done on a sewing machine, it can be done using paper and pencils if your sewing machine is not close to where you zoom.


Join us for a new quilting adventure.  This group is open to all our members and will meet only on Zoom and will focus on modern quilting!

Meeting the third Tuesday of the month from 7:00—8:00 with a 6:30—7:00 social time.

​Initially the meetings  were planned for 7 months but the response has been wonderful and will continue with members taking ownership of the group and continuing forward.  Come join and share your knowledge and curiosity about modern quilts.

Purpose: to explore Modern quilting techniques and characteristics.  Each month we will explore one of the hall marks of modern quilting with demonstrations or video.  Participants will be encourages to make a quilted block by playing with that technique to show at the next month’s meeting (our Show and Tell).  We will record meetings for those who can not make a particular month.  

​
Join us for one or all of our meetings.!
