Description: | |
First & foremost; This quilt block is a challenge swap. Absolutely NO traditional quilt blocks. This is an improvisational - NO MEASURING (finished dimensions only & we will get to that) - do not over think it do not plan - just sew. If you are unsure what this type of quilt block is - please message me. I can send you photos. UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!! After a conversation with another swapper - I'm making a minor change - 10/12/11 Use scrap fabric (quilters cottons only - still use quality fabric) - and make a quilt block - the SIZE is receivers choice. This means - when you are assigned partners - send them a message & ask what size they prefer. 9x9 12x12 -- Only the SIZE is receivers choice - the rest - colors & style are senders choice. The idea is to make a block very spur of the moment - adding & building on it until you get your outside/finished size. There must be small pieces of fabric worked into the design. Here are a few links - These are examples of very GOOD improv blocks. http://www.flickr.com/photos/27953607@N05/5519471027/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/ohfransson/5366135488/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/uppitygirl/4268506052/ This one isn't bad, but it misses the point a little - http://www.flickr.com/photos/betty_whoosh/2300290512/ make the shapes different & uneven - use solids & designs !! I hope the examples help! I hope there is a good response I'd like to do more of these - also would like to do more than 1 partner - please let me know if that is something others are interested in. I'm sorry - but no unrated swappers. Reliability is a must. Make a lovely interesting block for your partner! Get making! |
