Landscape workshop

London Quilters arranged a workshop with Ineke Berlyn. We were to make a landscape, using foundation piecing of strips of fabric. She had 4 example with patterns, in lovely zingy colours, but I decided to use two pictures from an old scrapbook - this one for the middle panel -
and this one for the sides -
Here are my less-than-zingy fabrics sorted by tonal value -
and here's the middle panel laid out, indeed somewhat stitched -
The sides included scraps from the big bag of fabric that Ineke brought along -
And here it is, not really like the starting photos at all -Everyone laid their work out - what a lot of different results -
Now they need quilting. The aim is to show them all at the next LQ meeting, in 29 days.

Often the best part of a class is seeing how everyone interpreted the theme! Those are wonderful photos, look forward to seeing the finished article.
