In this lesson, you will learn how to piece the corner blocks using a paper piecing method rather than templates. Piecing with waxed paper does not require you to stitch through the paper and allows you to use your paper pattern more than once.

Description

Combining multiple piecing techniques together into one project can yield a truly stunning result. You’ll use traditional piecing, paper piecing, templates and appliqué to create this stained glass iris quilt, and finish by outlining each piece of your appliqué design with thin bias tape to create the look of a stained glass panel. This quilt uses multiple construction techniques including traditional piecing, paper piecing, templates, and appliqué. You will also learn how to create the illusion of stained glass by outlining all of the appliqué pieces with thin, fusible bias tape. Each of the six lessons, we’ll break down the construction of this quilt step-by-step, beginning with simple cutting and piecing before moving on to more challenging aspects like the iris appliqué. This class will provide you with a great opportunity to improve your skills in all areas of piecing and even try out some fun new techniques.

Ashley has sewn for years. Her mother taught her at a very young age. When first starting out, she stuck to mastering commercial patterns before venturing into creating her own. Her patterns have been featured in Sew News, Sew It All, and she has even been on Sew It All TV. Quilting is somewhat new to Ashley, but she dove in head first – coming up with an original design for her first quilt that included curved seams and hand appliqué! She was even lucky enough to have it featured in one of Quilty’s “This is My Quilt” episodes. Ashley loves all things crafty, from sewing to knitting, crochet to quilting, and everything in between. When she isn’t working on a new project or learning a different technique she loves teaching her passion to others.
