Maximalist

Well it's the last month of the year as far as Bee Sewcial is concerned, as we're taking December off. Leanne/shecanquilt asked for improv blocks with no negative space, maximalist, and all the colors. After 2 months of neutral minimalism, I think we were all pretty excited about Leanne's choice.

  

I did my best to channel Gwen Marston's triangles and multi-stripes, with minor success. I'll keep working on those techniques....


In the spirit of improvisation and knowing how some of my bee-mates are ruthless about using up their scraps, I sewed together all my left-over bits into a small bonus block for Leanne. Hopefully it can fit into some nook or cranny when she goes to make her quilt.


It's been a fun year with Bee Sewcial and I'm super pleased with the quilt I made from my month's blocks. I know a few changes are in store, but I'm definitely looking forward to the challenge of another round.

    The minimalist blocks would probably have driven me a bit nutty but the maximalist blocks are right up my alley (assuming I could sew them!)

    These are wonderful! I love the curved lines....something I want to play around with one of these days. I can understand why you're pleased with the quilt you created this year....it's truly a work of art.
