For our first Bee Sewcial prompt of the year, Kenny/@thekingslacker asked for circles and chevrons in the style of Kenneth Noland in bright yet unexpeced palettes. Expecting it to be the most challenging, I started with the inset circle block, using the tutorial by my bee-mate Stephanie/@spontaneousthreads as a guide. Usually a mess when using glue, the process went really well this time. My block finished at 14" sqaure, and I fully expect Ken to trim that outer reddish section into a circle before inserting it into his own quilt. I'm just leaving it square for mailing.
And then it was on to the chevron, which was indeed simpler, though I was surprised how quickly it 'grew'. As shown, it measures 12" wide and 24" long.
I really love the two blocks together and am anxious to see how Ken uses them! What a fun first prompt for the year.
these are such stunning blocks, and now I have a new artist to explore!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love where these are going! So graphic in design and strong, bold colours!
ReplyDeleteThat's quite a challenge, flexing your improv muscles for sure!
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be delightful to see what he makes with these.
ReplyDeleteOh my, how I adore both of these! I'm a fiend for circles, and the graphic combo of these two pieces has my heart beating double-time. This is a great prompt, and it will be wonderful seeing everyone's blocks coming together. Kenny will have a good time making this quilt top!
