I attended my first Modern Quilt small group meeting on Wednesday evening. The group has been formed under my guild to meet the needs of a modern quilt group of quilters within our guild. We have lots of traditional and art group quilters, but the guild is seeing a big interest in Modern Quilting, many of us belonging to the Modern Quilt Guild.
Our first assignment was to produce a modern quilt piece done with triangles. Maximum size is 18 by 22 inches. The piece is due in September, pieced, quilted and bound.
I spent sometime playing around with my triangles and trying to obtain some sort of a pattern with them. I think finally after a couple misses got it figured out.
I like the elongated star effect. I used a light grey rather than white as I thought it worked better with my prints. No idea how I will quilt it yet, but know it will be straight lines going one way or another, at least that is the plan now. Its a finish thus far for the week.
So I'm linking up with at least somewhat of a finish:
How nice to break up a bigger guild into groups with different interests. Triangles can make for some amazing designs...I like where you are headed!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a nice expansion to your quilt guild. I really like the little piece you've created. I look forward to seeing how you decide to quilt it. --Andrea
ReplyDeleteI've always been drawn to those elongated star patterns. Best of luck with the challenge!! (And thanks for the reminder that my own guild challenge is coming due, too.)
