SCQCBD Challenge



Ages ago I put my hand up to make a challenge quilt with other members of Southern Cross Quilters who meet in the CBD of Melbourne once a month. It is due 2nd week in December and until yesterday all I had was a selection of fabrics.
But now I have the quilt! On paper at least so should be a doddle to get it finished in a week or so. The design is Hidden Wells, a quilt pattern that reveals itself when strip pieced triangles are artfully arranged.
First I have scanned my fabrics, then chose strip widths from the images and pasted these into a new image. Because selecting and rotating the triangles from the strip images was much to much brain work in the middle of the night I printed out multiple copies of the strip blocks, cut them into triangles, twirlled them around and stuck them down. Looked brilliant.
Tonights effort has been to scan the cut and paste and multiply the images into a quilt 5 blocks by 5 blocks.

Too easy.
Here are the original strips in case you cannot identify them.

One Step



If you are over Moonee Ponds way before the 12th of November, you can see my quilt"waft in the flow" hanging in VicQuilters One Step Further, contemporary quilt exhibition. I just love the fact that the exhibition is in an incinerator, allbeit a very special one designed by Walter Burley Griffin.
The quilt will then move to my office to cover a very bland wall.
This is not really the finished quilt, just a design idea.
