First day of class at Quilt Odyssey ... Marilyn Doheny's OP ART INFINITY. Marilyn is a wonderful teacher - she inspires and makes me stretch way beyond my comfort zone. I've taken class with her many times, mostly because she teaches stuff that I don't do all the rest of the year. The supply list said: bring a fabric that you love and 9 other ones that go from light to dark. Definitely the hardest part was picking fabric. And here's how it started out ...
We cut and laid them out in 2 piles and then swapped them. Sew them in "strata" - that's a fancy name for "strip sets." Then using Marilyn's 9-degree wedge ruler, cut it all apart and sewed it back together.
And here it is ...
I'm still in the process of appliquing to the background. Yes, I did get this done in less than 6 hours AND was using my featherweight (which sews really slow).
Chocolate is never far away in Hershey!
