Cubitz with Helen Butcher
Classes with Helen Butcher • Educational, G, 19-Apr-2019
In these two quilts Helen has used Oakshott fabrics to great effect to create the 3D illusion. So, you need to think about the tonal and colour value of your fabrics against each other.

Moreover, if you have enjoyed Helen's pattern, then you can find more by visiting her own website.
