Modern Blocks

Rhonda and I are teaching a year long block of the month class at Quilted Strait.  We are excited to journey alongside our students as we explore the Modern Quilt movement via the contributors in the book "Modern Blocks".

 The book covers all kinds of techniques and our students will have had a taste of all of them by the end of the year.   We choose two blocks each month to make in class....often teaching different methods of making units.  For example, using the "no waste" method of making 4 flying geese at once.

I'm using "Reunion" by Sweetwater for my fabric - with some "Circa 1934" by Cosmo Cricket and solids thrown in too.

Here are the blocks I've made so far:

"Best Friend" block.  1990 date in center is the year Rhonda and I met.

"Follow the Leader" block

"Boxed In" block.

"Meagan's Star" block.


So cute, right?    :)
