January & February Modern Blocks

I forgot  to post pictures of my blocks for the class I co-teach using the Modern Blocks book.  So its two months worth again!

January's class focus was half square triangles. 

This is called "Diamond Ripples"....lots of practice here as there are 36 bias squares in this block!  I do love the scrappy look.  I only changed the bottom left hand corner.

This one is called "Front and Center".    

Our students didn't have any trouble with either of these blocks.

February was an introduction to wonky stars.   These were fun blocks to make.  Most of the students did ok with the technique and enjoyed it.  

This is called "Stargazing".  I loved making this block.  I even made another for a comfort quilt being made for an online friend.   I made no changes.

This one is called "Three Wishes".  The pattern calls for a little star in very center but I chose just to leave it plain.  I loved the long wonky points in the frame of  the block.  I'd like to do that with a whole quilts worth of blocks!

We only have two months left and then we're done.  Can't believe our year is almost done.  I will make my final blocks on retreat next week.  I already have my favorites picked out for a top and will piece that at retreat also.  

More pics to come!

P.S.  Quilted Strait (where we teach) wrote a nice blog post on our class that some of our students blocks.  Take a peek.  :)
