Recently completing six months of Block Studies Collective Season 2 with Tara Faughnan @tarafaughnan, I thought it would be fun to share all of the projects I made during that time. Among them there are four small quilts, a pillow, and a mounted canvas. This was my first season joining the collective, and I found it at times challenging, but not difficult in the least. I especially enjoyed learning some tips from Tara, and especially some new ways to consider using traditional blocks. Note that Tara didn't give any pressure to make finished projects with our pieces. Play and experimenting with shapes and colors was primary. Still, I liked the idea of completing something with each prompt, so here are my six finished projects with links to a post about each one:
Hourglass - Sands of Time
Abstractions - Abstractions Redux
Wayward Arcs - Arcs
Big Slice - Octad
Grid Work - Mesh
Lovely fun with color!
ReplyDeleteIt would be hard to pick a favorite!
ReplyDeleteLuckily you don't have to! ;-)
DeleteI really love it when you share all of your body of work together in a post, Debbie. I was delighted to be re-introduced to each on and felt a flush of pleasure at the recognition of each project (ooh, those colors to ooh, that binding to, oh that quilting is so good!).
ReplyDeleteI have been finding myself really pulled to orange, pink, and dusty tones (browns and greens) lately. Not that that is reflected in any recently made work, but I have definitely been paying attention to those colors a lot and saving images that contain a lot of those colors. It really is interesting to see how colors move in and out of fashion, not just in the world at large, but in what is on my cutting mat.
What fun projects! I especially love the first quilt and the pillow.
