22. Brigit Gail Dermott: Pixel Postage Stamp
The postage stamp pixel quilt uses a simple grid of one-inch squares to make a subtle picture. Students will plan (or color) their pixel designs using graph paper and colored pencils or markers. We will discuss how to use color value to accentuate the effect of the pixels. (Students will also have the option to use pre-planned designs including a heart or a rainbow.) Students will then jump into cutting and piecing, focusing on foundational skills including cutting with precision and piecing using a scant quarter-inch seam. Students will make good progress on their quilt tops in the workshop and leave with all the skills needed to complete their projects.
