I can't tell you how thrilled I am to be all caught up in Seattle MQG's block of the month, the Salsa Medallion. Since sharing my center focal block, I've played around with the other prompts - lines, triangles, and text.
The improv lines, stripes, or whatever, formed the borders on the top and left, paired with a couple of angled wedge 'cornerstones.' Though I made a different triangle 'border,' it didn't fit style-wise with the HSTs in the focal block, so I set them aside for later use. Instead, I added a few more HSTs along the bottom, as well as larger pieced triangles as bookends for the 'text' (IE. '2021') panel on the right side. Goodness, it's chaotic, isn't it? ha! But it was very fun to finally puzzle together, and that's exactly what I needed.
Very nice to see this grow. While the 2021 lines aren't maybe exactly your skinny strips, I can see influence from some of your recent work. :)
ReplyDeleteSuper work, I think it's exciting and not chaotic. I see the progression from the center and it's excellent!
ReplyDeleteThis inspired me to make one of my own.... I'll have to send you a pic. You do egg me on and I love it!
ReplyDeleteSo cool to see this coming together!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea to put the prompts from three month into one border instead of three. It will make your quilt a little smaller and the next borders a lot easier :) Love your improv version! xo
