It seemed like a long time since the last meeting in December, so it was nice to catch up with each other. We started with a talk, accompanied by brief notes and samples, to demonstrate some ideas for
using stripes in quilt patterns.
 |
| Examples using various striped fabrics - including diagonal stripes (purple and orange) |
There are some interesting effects to be had when using stripes. The internet is a good source of information and You tube videos showing techniques, so some links were included with the notes.
Another pattern suitable for for use with stripes is the well used T-shirt block. There is also a dress block that would suit them too.
We had lots of members work to share.
