Talking in School 10/2003
This tesselation reminds me of a school of fish with their mouths open.
I created the initial figure in TESS, a free download from http://www.peda.com/
I saved the TESS figure as a bitmap and imported it into EQ and traced it in PatchDraw. After the initial tracing it did take some tweaking to get the curves and spikes to match more closely than they did after the initial tracing. I then used the PatchDraw tools to add the eye and fin before working with the figure in Custom Set.

This block reminds me of a jigsaw puzzle, hence the name. This colour scheme uses fabrics from the "Berry Colors" palette.

9 Patch Tessellation
This was inspired by the Jinny Beyer book on tessellations & is based on a square shape for the starting block. I am currently working on a triangle shape as the basis for the next tessellation design. This is a challenge which I found very enjoyable!

This challenge really stretched me. I know how to do tessellations with pencil and paper, but this made me think in a different way.

Come Walk In My Garden
This is the same block that I used for the second quilt. I tried to
sketch tessellations to get me going. I started cutting out paper taking
and adding pieces here and there. I had to watch myself because I knew
I was going to have to draw it freehand in EQ5.
I used PatchDraw for both quilts.
Thanks again Barb. for a great Challenge.

"Gonna Have A Party"
I used the same
block for both quilts just to see what would happen. The song "Gonna
Have A Party" kept on running though my head as I merrily played
with shaped and colours. When I looked at all of these colours it reminded
me of the balloons that are placed at the end of a driveway when there
is a birthday party for a child, telling the world that this is a special
day for some small person.
I found that the course I took during the summer of 2002 at the Quilt
University by Lily Kerns really made me less timid in trying out shapes
on my own. The course was called
"Playing With Shapes."
I hope everyone had as much fun as I did.

HOPE & REMEMBERANCE
In honor of October
as Breast Cancer Awareness month this was designed with blocks representing
pink ribbons.
I didn't really have the fabric colors I envisioned - very pale pink
on black in the center gradually increasing in vibrancy as the background
fades to silvery gray as the ribbon tiles expand out.
Maybe the border would be quilted with silver tread too.

Tessellating Autumn Leaves
Just finished a 'Tessellating Stars' online course at QuiltUniversity.com. Thought this would make for a nice Autumn theme.

Oriental Carpet
When I looked at my computer screen with the blocks set in this layout it just seemed to "say" - CARPET, so I made some tassels to place on each end.

Ducks on the Water
I started out by colouring the top row in a light colour and increased each row in value. Then I mixed up the order in each column and it started to look like water moving and the shape of a duck became more pronounced, so I coloured some of the blocks yellow for the "ducks" .
