The Quilt Show Puzzle: "Leaf Sampler" by Colleen Wise
Do a puzzle of Colleen Wise's quilt, Leaf Sampler.
Colleen's Leaf Sampler quilt was created using a discharging technique, one that she learned and became fascinated with after taking a discharging class. Seeing it as an epiphany moment for her work, Colleen uses this technique in her quilts to put a back to a specific surface, which then acts as a shadow for the object and provides it the depth that it would not otherwise have on top of the quilt. The inspiration for this quilt, as you may have guessed from its title, was all the different leaves that Colleen picked up from every tree around her town.
