Modern Meadow Blocks
Monday, April 4, 2011 Check out his Modern Meadow line:
There is just something about this line...I love the flowers, structure of prints, I also feel like there is a southwestern desert vibe. Joel Dewberry also has a brand new line out, called Aviary 2, that you can check out here.
During the month of March the Bay Area Modern Quilt Guild gave us the challenge of making blocks with the pond line! Swoon! I had picked up a few fat quarters of this line too. So you defineitly haven't seen the last of this line!
I made three blocks to enter into the pool. Everyone made blocks and then for each block we made that was one entry into the raffle. It was so amazing to see what everyone made!
This is by far my favorite and I will probably make more of these types of blocks. This was my first time designing my own blocks and making them from scratch. It was hard to keep to the 10.5 size of the block. I had to shave off an inch to keep it the right. But if I were to do it again, I'd keep it a 12" square.
I had one more but the pic seems to have disappeared! Oh, well! Here is everyone's blocks all together:
Oh amazing are these! I was not the winner, but happy for the gals who won them! It will be interesting to see what they come up with!
April's Challenge:
