Sew Sunshine

Just in time for my lqg meeting challenge....I have a little finish! Our guild challenge was called "That's MODern" and we had to draw a Modern element or aesthetic out of a bag and make a 16" square black and white quilt with a pop of color.  I drew "Texture"..........say what??  The first thing I thought of was all the wonderful quilting I have been seeing lately. But I am not a talent for quilting and my sewing room is a big heaping pile since the remodel project started months ago.   Recently the MQG had a webinar by Rebecca Bryan from  Bryan House Quilts  and bits from her book Modern Triangle Quilts.  She talked about modern aesthetic and graphic design. So that got me excited. Here is what I came up with.  "Text-ure" 16" square Modern element = Texture black white and pop of color  I wanted to make sure everyone knew what my element was so I wrote out an improv word. :) Emphasis on 'text' since I love tex...

  Yep, singing that all afternoon while I made these fun paper-pieced trees!! Now it is in your head too isn't it?  :) I started these trees after a lqg meeting late last year. I made three right away and then sat down with an old phone book and made 13 more papers to use and promptly but it all away.  Today I was inspired to get them out and make up at least the other 13. I had a system and they went together really quickly.  I highly recommend the quarter inch ruler. That was so easy to lay that down and let the lip of the quarter inch cup over my folded pieces.    Now what is this going to become? Lots of wonky pieces were trimmed off the trees and it would be fun to wonky this up a bit.....maybe.....idk.  Off to tear the papers off and will see what I dream up over night.  Love this texture so will see what  come up with. 5/31 days of blog writing challenge
