Paint and Piece - Day Two morning.

We had the big reveal this morning. We took off the leaves and revealed the painted fabrics from yesterday's class. Here are some photos of my material. 








Margie began the morning with some instructing. She taught us some strategies for improvisational curved piecework. We learned how to make a common cut with two fabrics to piece gentle curves. This led to making strip sets that could be further subdivided into squares , rectangles, triangles and repieced. 







Margie also instructed us in making thin line piecework either as a border or as an insert. 






Lastly, she taught us some funky 4 and 9 patches. I really like the nine patch idea with the black on white commercial fabrics. It could be amazing if they were over dyed too!!
