7923-04 Patchwork and Quilting Diploma Module 6

In Module 6 students complete their first Assessment item, the Miniature Quilt. All quilts have to conform to a maximum size limit of 12", 30cms. Work also involves an investigation into fabric manipulation, discharge dyeing and the rusting of fabric.

Left, detail above: Catherine's first Assessment piece, her miniature quilt. Inspired by stained glass windows it features hexagon piecing combined with bias strip applique.

Right: Jean's miniature quilt assessment. Jean has cleverly combined techniques including printing and piecing to create her complex design on such a small scale. Free machine quilting completes the piece which features many of Jean's own hand dyed fabrics.

Below: Anna's miniature quilt assessment inspired by mathematical sequences and progressions. The design was painted onto fusible interfacing and then printed onto felt before being hand quilted.

Above and left: Some of Jean's experiments with creating colour and surface design on fabric using discharge technique and rusting.
