Wayward Transparency Workshop Description:
Learn how color value can be used to really make your fabric choices for a quilt pop! Transparency quilts are one of Yvonne’s favorite techniques, and she uses the Wayward Transparency quilt pattern as the basis to explore color value.
For those unable to attend the Tips and Tricks lecture, Yvonne begins with discussion about approach fabric selection when you are working with or wanting to make a transparency quilt, and the talk includes tips and tricks on how to use common technology to your benefit when shopping online or in person.
After the discussion, apply what you have learned about the visual relationship between different colors, print sizes, values, and tones by working through the Wayward Transparency pattern. Traditional piecing techniques will be explored, with additional insights into precision piecing and how to work with directional fabrics.
Note that the Wayward Transparency pattern requires 2 fabrics that differ in value (for example, light value and medium value, light value and dark value, or medium value and dark value) plus an additional background fabric that can complement or contrast. Fabric yardage and cutting instructions are provided on the following pages. Feel free to bring fabric uncut to discuss or arrive with your fabric ready to sew!

About Yvonne:
Yvonne is a former aerospace engineer turned modern quilter, designer, and technical editor. She was introduced to quilting by her paternal grandmother in high school when her grandmother offered to hand quilt a twin-size quilt to use in her college dorm room if Yvonne made the quilt top. Now, 25 years later, Yvonne has developed a style that bridges her technical background and love of bold color, specializing in transparency color play and bold, geometric designs. Yvonne’s quilts have been featured in numerous national and international magazines, quilt shows, and Modern Quilts: Designs of the New Century. She lives on the big island of Hawaii with her husband.
