Quilters use our art, sometimes, to depict what's happening in the world around us. When I saw images of the Covid-19 virus, with its round shape with funky protuberances, I knew I had to draw it. I was in no way making light of the havoc caused by the virus—rather, this is one way of trying to makes sense of the situation we find ourselves in. The designs are loosely based on images of the Covid-19 virus. Each step pushes the abstraction further.
Early in the pandemic, I offered the free pattern on my site, pieceocake.com, and the videos on YouTube. I am happy to offer the pattern and videos together here, where they are ad-free, as my contribution to help quilters create a memory quilt for this crazy time in our lives.
These video lessons offer a quick, but comprehensive, look at a variety of applique techniques. If you are interested in more in-depth instructions, please do consider taking a class with me on Creative Spark.
