SCENES FROM A RECENT MEETING

COMING AROUND AGAIN

As part of our Wednesday, March 6, 2019 meeting we had a special lesson showing us how to create a "Coming Around Again" quilt. Jane Frenke taught us this Stack-Sew in Curves-and-Cut Out technique. It is similar to cutting a layered Mola. Shown here are several versions that will be included in our 2019 Yard Square Quilt Collection.

Above:

The curves that make up the technique can clearly be seen in this photo.

The one on the table is a Yard Square created by Denise Cline. Its is called"Stepping Stones."

A gleeful pink, red, and orange Yard Square Quilt by Linda Gee called "In the Round."

One of the best charteristics of this technique is it varibility.

Above: Abby Chapple loved the individuality of each layered group so she put each on a raised, 3D platform, like a jewel in a setting. Hence the name, "Jewels."
