At our April monthly meeting, speaker Terry Aske gave us a ‘behind the scenes’ look at her wall hangings so we could see the techniques she uses to give her pieces depth and perspective. We enjoyed her slide show, picked up some great tips and then she showed us some of her finished hangings. It was awesome to get a really close look at what she’d just been explaining.

Irene Harvalias led a workshop to show us how to make interesting blocks out of strata of five 2.5″ strips. Some people used jelly rolls and others used scraps. We all started with the same process to produce quarter blocks. These were then assembled into one of three patterns; Diamond, Cross or Pinwheel.

After choosing our block type we sewed them together. When jelly rolls or full width of fabric (WOF) were used the quarter blocks could be put together in a way that emphasized the pattern. The results were wonderfully varied.
