Flower Power class results

Last week I had one of the best quilting classes I've ever taken.  Just plain fun!  I took a five day class with Sue Benner at Quilting by the Lake, now held annually at Onondaga Community College in Syracuse, NY.  I found Sue to be one of the best teachers I have ever had.  She's very organized, but relaxed, and makes the experience a joy.  The first photo is of my first project in colors that I normally work with--brights, particularly red and orange. This was done in the first two days of class.

The next photos are of project 2, which took three days.  I love things that are assymetrical and my plan was to groups the colors of the flowers in sections on the piece.  The first photo shows my original design which I didn't find particularly pleasing.  So Sue came along and helped me group them by predominate color and the second photo is the final product.  I ended up cutting all flowers into quarters.  Most of the rest of the class kept most of theirs whole or cut into halves.

It was a wonderful week, with wonderful room-mates, and I hope to go back next year.
