Saturday 10 October 2020: Online Workshop (Crystal Pattern Quilt)

Lucy Brennan - Saturday 12 October 2020 - 3.00pm to 7.00pm (BST)

Online Interactive Workshop: Crystal Pattern Mystery Quilt

Time for something completely different! In Lucy Brennan's latest class you will use the Crystal Mystery Pattern to create a Structured Improv quilt or patchwork top for a cushion. Made up of three types of blocks, the pattern is machine pieced to make a striking impact through the use of colour and tone. Create blocks with any combination of colours and let the mystery unfold as you sew them into a unique ‘crystal’ layout.

What You Will Learn in this Online Interactive Workshop:-

Every version is an original and no two are alike! Lucy will guide you through an exploration of colour gradients and help you design a stunning layout using the mystery blocks you create. Choose your own colours and freely play with compositions as Lucy offers tips to making a modern striking pattern. With precise piecing instructions, traditional methods are given a twist and the mystery element makes this class so much fun!

You can make this pattern to any size, the smaller version is made up of 2.5” blocks and the larger version is 6.5” blocks. You can use fat quarters or yardage. Lucy recommends choosing at least eight colours, in whatever colour gradient you chose in a mix of light, medium and dark shades. You can also use ombre fabrics for added effect. Solid colours or tone on tone prints work really well too.
