Participants learned the procedure for creating wonderful images on quilt blocks using a silk screen technique. Repeating images and changing the position produced some unique looks on the fabric which will certainly find its way into a striking future art quilt. There was a little bit of a mess but what fun these students had being creative! It was well worth it!
