It feels good to be back in the studio and getting things done.
On the weekend, I created my starter block for the VMQG Round Robin project. Last year, we had 8 participants, and had some fabulous quilts at the end of the project – you can see 5 of them here. And below you can see my starting block, and the finished quilt.
This year, I’m going for a wonky look, so I made my starting block non-square. I hope the other participants will add some wonky borders. I won’t see my block or the progress on my quilt top for the next 12 months, until we have the big reveal.
The block lotto this month is a cute little block called Raspberry Kiss. Finishing at only 4 1/4 inches, the blocks are a little smaller than I prefer, but they go together quickly and they’re cute, so I made 4 of them. If I win the lotto, I would make some larger versions of the block.
I have lots more projects on the go, and if you come back on Friday you’ll see what I’ve accomplished this week.
Today, I’m linking up with these blogs – click on the links below, where you’ll find many other creative projects to inspire you.
Well, I have to say I’m not a fan of improv blocks, but I sure do love your finished quilt! Who knows, might be changing my mind… Love all your text fabrics!!
I am fascinated by the Round Robin quilt from last year. I love wonky blocks and quilts. The use of scale of prints and its offset center makes the quilt, I think, since the blocks around yours could be construed as somewhat traditional in other fabrics.
These are great, Terry … Your wonky block gives so many possibilities to those adding to it. I love block lottos, too, and this block gives lots of scope for the winner.
I love the last quilt and I am sure your started block for this next one will be great also! what fun!
Hi Terry, do you know the rules of the round robin project? I love how the one came out with the fractured circle. It gives me an idea for something I’m working on. Thanks!
lovely work!
The Round Robins are fabulous! Yours is just wonderful! Love your starter block.
