My modern guild is making a charity quilt for QuiltCon 2019, and the requirements include a predetermined palate and blocks with pieces no larger than 1″ in at least one dimension. The theme is “small piecing”. Here is the palate:
At the last meeting, our guild had chunks of fabric about 8″ x 10″ cut for us to take home and make little blocks. The blocks are going to be used to construct something else, so the only requirement is that they finish either 2″ or 3″ square. I took these 3 colors:
And here are some little blocks I made.
The quilt has to be twin size, so it’s going to take a LOT of these babies! It will be fun to see what other guilds do when QuiltCon comes around in February.
Thanks to everyone who offered an opinion about my choice of accent color for the shirting quilt. There are two different blocks in the quilt that use the tiny accent squares, and I’ve decided to use orange for this one and rust for the other. Here are a couple of the blocks with orange. Those tiny orange squares finish 3/4″. Eek!
I’ll keep you posted.
I love the tiny blocks! The orange looks great in your shirting quilt – a nice pop!
Thanks! I guess it was tiny block week 😉
Our Guild is entering a quilt again this year too. We had a lot of fun making the one we entered last year and just recently got a tiny preview of the one we are making this year.
Herding everyone into making the same quilt has been a bit of a challenge 🙃
That will be fun, arranging all those tiny blocks! I like the effect of the orange accent.
If only we can agree on how to arrange them, since it’s a group project 😬
