Well, That Was Fun!

I’ve been playing with Tara Faughnan’s Blocks3 month 1 block for 5 or 6 days.

Here are my “Crosswalk” versions–made with Tara’s palette for this month.

As usual, Tara gives us MANY different ways to think about shape, proportions, and color use.

Note that I hand quilted some of the blocks I put on stretched canvas–a practice I learned last year in the Blocks2 class. And a little water sprayed on the far right canvas in the first picture below will erase the clamp marks.

And–note that the block on the right is an alternate setting method that has also ONE background color :

Two blocks went into the developing improv quilt on the design wall:

(The blocks on the bottom are for a different project.)

I think I’m done for this month now. But boy was this block fun!

Now, the leaves are calling for Rachel LaBour’s “Under the Maple Tree” sewalong. As is the small quilt that needs to go on the longarm.
