Triangles
Curated Quilts magazine has a new call for entry for mini quilts – the theme is Triangles. The image below shows the color palette they would like entrants to use, all or in part.
I have made two entries – ‘Improv Triangles’ and ‘Triangles’. They are each 10.25 inches square.
You can see all the entries here. Early in April, they will announce which of the mini quilts will be included in the 4th issue of the magazine.
Tally Marks
I’m working on another challenge – the Canadian Quilters’ Association Trend-Tex Challenge. Here are the five fabrics that must be used. The theme is ‘Celebrate’ to recognize the 30 years that Trend-Tex has been providing fabrics for the challenge, which is a fund raising activity for the association.
I decided to base my design on the theme of 30 years. I wanted a design that looked modern and interesting, and decided on tally marks. I’m not fond of the bubblegum pink color in the front fabric, but some extreme fussy cutting minimized that color in my quilt.
At this point I have fused the tally marks to the background fabric, and started the quilting. It’s going to finish at about 16 x 20 inches.
All the submitted quilts will be displayed at Quilt Canada 2018 in Vancouver BC, from May 31 – June 2.
