Workshop 4: Panels, Panels, Panels
Using 2 identical panels of your choice, you will create a beautiful one of a kind art piece. One panel is used in it’s full glory. The second panel is cut into strips along with other coordinating fabrics and sewn together. The process is repeated in the opposite direction and sewn again.
