Whimsy Quilts....Class Prep



The Permission 2 Play Instructors

are gathered together to do some class prep 

for our October 27, 2016 class:

Fused Whimsy Quilts


We are working with a stash of

pre-fused fabrics

leftover from previous classes.






We are trying for a whimsy wonky look...






Sometimes whimsy is not easy to do...






We powered through and tried to keep

things off balance and FUN!











Fast 2 Fuse was used to create this

wavy edge treatment...








I went home and continued to tweek my design:


I change the background from green to pink.

The pink made it more FUN!




 Close Up Detail of Quilting:


I have been in a bubble mood lately...

so I went with the feeling.






Extending the bubble quilting into the borders

added to the whimsy a bit.






Fused Whimsy Quilt Class Sample




The Fast 2 Fuse is double sided fusible

so I slapped a hunk of fabric on the back

and ironed it down...

a fast, down and dirty back treatment.


The Permission 2 Play classes are limited to

3 hours so we must invent creative techniques

to enable the students to leave class with a

finished project.

  2. Very fun! This reminds me of taking a class from Laura Wasilowski, and I had the best time just fusing things down and going for the whimsy! Love your finished result--

  4. I really like the bubbles going into the border. I always called that stitching dsign pebbles or rocks. I like "Bubbles" a whole lot more
