April Modern Block and the Finale

Yesterday was the last class of our year long Modern Block class.  We introduced students to 21 blocks, many techniques and the modern quilt movement.   I can't believe its April already and its now over.


This is the final block - "House on a Hill".  It was the introduction to raw edge applique.
I ended up using this block as my label for the quilt.  I wrote the particulars in the space under the house.  

I decided to make up two different settings for my 21 blocks and make a two sided quilt. 
This is what I came up with for one side:

And this is the second side - my favorite setting!
I used Kona Navy for my background and used up some scraps for the binding.  I had a local machine quilter, Shelly Nolte, quilt it for me with an all over pattern.  I used a wool batt which gives it a bit more loft than normal.  I really love it.

It's a wonderful quilt Cindy! I love the double sided nature of it- both sides are great! And using a navy blue is a great alternative to black!
