This Saturday in your weekly scheduled post we’ll finish up with the final installment from my recent January 2022 Live Online Class. The twelve students in class all made terrific progress through what I call the “first draft” stage. They will be working on their own (using the Fabric Collage Master Class for guidance) to finish up their quilts.
I thought it might be helpful to them—and to you—to see what the following drafts—second, third, final—might look like. What I expect to accomplish in those steps. What to be thinking about. What progress looks like. When to apply certain techniques such as sheers (detail in photo above).
So this Throwback Thursday follows one of my quilts, “Kaloli Moondance,” from beginning to end. This post abridges the steps that took three previous posts to cover (to read those individual posts in full you can follow this link).
See how this marabou stork portrait flows from one stage to the next, sometimes flowing backward, to make progress to the finished piece.
