BOM - Turtle Block

This month we will use a three colour block with placement as shown on the coloured block. The block lends itself to strip piecing if you are using three fabrics. Consider the interesting secondary patterns when the blocks are put together.
Size: 12" finished

Alternate sizes are 9", 6", 4" or 2" with more ideas for colour palettes.

Create Whimsy with Linda M and Shirley P

Featuring the quilt artist Niraja Lorenz. She enjoys working with hexagons, log cabins, and stripes that are improvisationally pieced. Each piece is created individually by freehand cutting and sewing.

Colour Play with Sandra T, Keary & Elaine:

Fifth Set of Triadic Partners: Chartreuse, Cerulean Blue, Blue-Red

Extra play time with the colours.

We experimented with ideas from “Interacting with Color: A Practical Guide to Josef Albers’s Color Experiments” by Fritz Horstman

Colour Play
The colour play presentation by Carol, Rita and Catherine focused on aqua green, orange-yellow and purple and their split complements: red, blue and yellow-green, respectively. The blocks are amazing!! Very improvisational! In case you missed it, the full presentation can be found in the colour play page on the website.

Thank you Jan for sharing the works of Birgitta Jadenfelt from Create Whimsy. Jan highlighted the curved rectangle pattern piece she created and called it "My Block". It is the inspiration that she uses in many of her quilts.

BOM for May is the tree block. There are so many options for colour, set horizontally, vertically, improv or symmetrical. Select the colours you like, preferably in bright light to medium hues. May BOM instructions are posted in the members area. Happy sewing!

The Toronto MQG tmqg.ca had a quilt showcase May 1 & 2.

In case you weren't able to attend TMQG Showcase - Take a virtual tour of the exhibit and experience modern quilting as both fine art an contemporary craft.
