I am participating in a Modern block exchange with my
Treadle On group. I don't usually make modern style quilts, but, I liked this block. I've only made one set of blocks so far.

Here is a set of blocks, trimmed. I still need to sign these blocks.

I will be making more of these blocks. We have to use Kona 'Ash' as the background color, but, we can use any bold color(s) for the strips. I'm using some of the fabrics from my
son's wedding quilt for my bold colors.

Of course, since this exchange is with my Treadle On group, the blocks must be made on a 'people powered' sewing machine. I'm using my 1959 Singer Spartan (192K) hand crank.

I think I need to make a set on my blue treadle, Victor, too.

We're headed off to another quilt show, shortly. This one is in Princeton, IL. We are also going to check out an new quilt store in La Salle, IL.
Have a great weekend!
Love seeing your blocks! I plan to work on mine today since it's National Quilt Day. Have fun at the quilt show.
ReplyDeleteHappy National Quilt Day! Love the strings... they're my color. Who is the handsome guy overseeing Victor? Hope you are enjoying a quilt show and some retail therapy.
