As mentioned previously, I’ve been participating in Tara Faughnan’s Block Studies class. The blocks were mostly nothing special, though her video instruction was excellent for people who might not know how to make them. And seeing what others made with the combination of Tara’s blocks and her color palettes has been wonderful!
So I combined blocks made from several studies that were part of the class, plus a few I just made up for fun, and made a quilt top.
I’ll square it up and then we’ll see. To be continued. And if you’re thinking of taking a class with Tara, I do recommend her.
Zippy Quilts 
Very nice, Mary! I like the different blocks you made and how you bled colors in the dark background, drawing the eye toward the outside. Very modern-looking! Bright colors too – something I always admire when I see them used in a quilt.
So many virtual workshop/class/lesson possibilities! This week I’ll be joining some free Latifah Saafir lessons using her HuRTy 1 (half-rectangle triangle) ruler.
Thanks! And I’m going right now to look up Latifah’s lessons.
A very fun project!
Your comment came through just fine–thanks!
Such a fun project. Thanks for sharing. I tried to comment on the post, but somehow have never figured out how to comment on a fellow WordPress blog’s posts. Glad I can reply here.

Thanks for visiting and commenting–your comment came through just fine; I think maybe it got hung up in moderation where you couldn’t see it.
color palettes are beautiful!
Thank you. Tara really has a wonderful color sense.
A splendid quilt top. Makes me think of an exciting journey to the stars.
I have been following Tara since your first post about her classes.
Oh, good, glad you like it!
Simply marvelous! You are the quickest study on this stuff — you whip out quilts so fast and I love seeing them all.
Thank you, Elizabeth.
Wow that looks like the kind of amazing modern quilts I saw at QuiltCon in February, nice work!
Well, there was a special exhibit of Tara’s quilts at QuiltCon, so that makes sense. Glad you’re back; it’s good to hear from you.
