A Burst of Colour - A Work in Progress

Before I broke my wrist, I had signed up for a Liberated Radial Piecing class with Elaine Quehl. I love her Solstice and couldn't wait to learn how she did it. I had no idea how I was going to participate on Saturday with my wrist, but I figured I could still learn something and have a good time.

I was pleasantly surprised at how much I could do because the techniques were very free-form. I can't apply enough pressure to cut anything accurately right now so this couldn't have been more perfect.

I chose to use solids because that was my best stash of the colours I wanted to pay with, although this technique also looks stunning with handdyes and batiks.

Loving it so far!

Thanks for a fabulous class, Elaine! Here are some examples of my classmates' work. Isn't it cool to see it with different fabrics?
