A Class with Jacqui Gering

My latest quilt...a graduation gift for my niece Mary.  I was told two things prior to starting this quilt, think ocean colors, and sea turtles.  Since it was a college graduation gift, I wanted to stay away from the sea turtles because I didn't want it to look like a gift for a much younger girl.  

I had signed up for a class with Jacqui Gering, which seemed like the perfect opportunity to start the project. I selected "ocean" colored batiks and off I went.  I liked Jacqui's class... the right amount of instruction and directions to experimentation/play time.  With some teachers, it's all about their method and following their instructions to achieve their look.  Others teachers don't adequate time to work on the new skill.  Jacqui's class was a good balance.  

I started off thinking I was going to make the quilt to look like light reflecting off the surface of the ocean.  My daughter saw it as coral reefs.  Overall, I see a turtle shell.  No matter what you see, it was a fun introduction to a new technique/style.

    Helpful Hints:

    I love using leader/ enders when I am chain piecing.  It was an idea from Bonnie Hunter.  Instead of using a scrap piece of material in between chains, use two small blocks.  You can work on two project projects at once!  I keep a pile of 2" scrap squares next to my machine for this reason...Happy piecing!
