ARiA
One of my favorite musicals is Stephen Sondheim’s “Into the Woods”. The music compliments the story so well, it’s a delight to experience. No matter how familiar the “Woods” becomes, one anticipates the “unexpected”. Like the musical, a pleasant walk in the woods inspired “Aria”. Though its story is complete, it (like a song) also resonates in unexpected ways . . .
Aria is a 2-fabric wonder for the quilter who is experienced with machine appliqué. The design is revealed by combining regular and reverse appliqué with a Feature fabric and a complimentary Foreground fabric.
Full-size Templates are included on an accompanying CD. To make full size templates for the center, take the enclosed CD to a local printer or office supply that makes large format prints. Print templates on regular paper, not poster weight paper.
