Succade – an online group workshop, September 7th (prep session) and October 11th (workshop)

This workshop includes a one hour prep session followed a few weeks later by a three hour workshop. In class we’ll be playing with my latest quilt, the Succade Quilt (succade – candied or crystallised fruit). We will look at what colour combinations enhance the transparency, sew orange-peel blocks, cut them up and reassemble into three different block versions. The techniques used to create this block will help you elevate your curve and precision piecing and give you the knowledge to create your own transparency blocks. If you enjoy making these graphic and modern 7” blocks you might choose to make more and create a 42” quilt. The blocks can be made using the PSS custom acrylic templates* or the paper templates included with this pattern.

There will also be instructions on how to make the Complete set redundant and use only the Multiple DP set to do all the cutting.
