The watercolor quilt is a wall hanging made from one large block that uses curved piecing to create the illusion of transparency from overlapping circles. The class will cover my process for building a fabric gradation and tips and tricks for stress free curved piecing. Take the guesswork out of color selection by using one of the published color gradations inside the pattern! The watercolor quilt finishes at 32 by 32 inches.

Judy and Brad Niemeyer designed the layout, instructions, and foundation papers for One, which is a pattern in the Quiltworx.com Leaf Series. The leaf series is a collection of patterns designed to teach quilters one of Judy’s latest techniques, which is curved paper piecing. The most recent coversheet was created using a Tonga Batik Mini Collections designed by Judy and Judel Niemeyer with Timeless Treasures called Gold Dust, Titanium, and Sandstone. A sewing technique called foundation paper piecing is used to assemble the units required to make this quilt. Curved piecing, traditional piecing, and appliqué are used to assemble the wall hanging after the foundation piecing is completed.
