April Forum- Divine Design

Forum this month focused on designing quilts.  Helen Butler led the discussion and talked about Elements of Design, Principles of Design, Quilt Styles and Visual Elements.   

Crystal North helped with technical aspects.

Sharon Wright shared some of her design tips and shared some of her quilts.

Francine Berrett also shared some quilts and her ideas on design.

Shirley Olsen showed some of her original designs and quilts.  I only wish the photos were better quality.

And last, but not least, Kathy Porter shared how she creates quilts from her doodles.  

Here are some websites that Helen used in her presentation:

She also referred to a book by Willow Ann Soltow entitled "Designing Your Own Quilts." She found it in our UVQG library.
