Work with hand-dyed fabrics and commercial batiks to create this impressive quilt. Build your background using a clever piecing formula you’ll turn to over and over again for many of your quilting projects. You’ll have practiced strip piecing, accurate ¼” seams, nesting of seams and more along the way. After playing with and determining the final arrangement of your blocks, you’ll enjoy the artistry of sectioned applique for the rooster and his environment – all without any stiffness added to your quilt. Raw edge applique and the option to enhance your rooster by couching a few selectively place yarns, you’ll be ready for a discussion of quilting designs for completion at home. Using Helene’s fast and easy, artful approach to appliqué, your Regal Rooster will be strutting his stuff in no time.
