This workshop has a strong focus on colour and composition. It also involves a small insight on needle-turn appliqué
Carolyn says she tends to enjoy projects that embrace a "more is more" type of attitude and this quilt is no exception. "I designed it to be an outlet for a variety of little bits. Each appliqué starts with just a 2 1/2″ square–so it’s quite perfect for including many of your favourite fabrics." she says.
