Club EQ Album: March/April 2005 Challenge: Hide the Block! Page 11

Take a block, color it, and set it into a horizontal set quilt with a 3x3 or 4x4 layout. (This is the "before.") Then create a second quilt with the same block, same layout, and change the color in such a way that you lose track of the original block. (This is the "after.") This is a great exercise in coloring secondary designs, creating transparencies, or using traditional blocks with non traditional color combinations. This challenge was suggested by Jane Jacobson (aka ForestJane), and it is a fun one to create!

For this challenge, you will be allowed to submit up to 4 quilts total, which will give you two pairs of "befores" and "afters."

Snail's Trail

The Snail's trail was the starting point in this exercise for me. It is one of my favourite blocks. I love its flowing lines. One day I actually make my own version of this old fashioned delight!

My first challenge!

This quilt, created in vivid colours, hides the Snail's Trail pattern and invites the eye to explore its bold lines.

Looking Outward to the Light

I had some fun working with muted purples to create the illusion of looking through the framework to the light beyond.

Orange Push Pops

This is one of the blocks from a virtual puzzle quilt I did where you used the regular block *and* the hidden block in the same quilt. You use 6 blocks and their counterparts to get a 3x4 quilt and then try to find the pairs within the quilt.

Find the block

Can you find the basic block? I recolored and used the symmetry tool on the layout.

Dorothy Atkinson
The Light Will Shine Through (before A)

I designed the Block in this quilt. When I design now I try to make sure that the quilt is doable. In other words could I sew it.? I put the black border which is something that I wouldn't ordinarily do but quilts are stories to me. When I put the black right next to the quilts and then the birght colours again because I believe that no matter what darkness there is, the light will shine through. If you keep on believing .

Floating Flowers (After A)

The block is the same block I used in "The Light Will Shine Through."

Dorothy Atkinson
Cabin in the Woods (Before B)

Block in the border is from Pattie Anderson's Book EQ5 Draw I designed the block in the quilt. The same blocks are used as in "The Trail Home." Colouring the block and again using the Rotate Tool gave a whole new look.

Dorothy Atkinson
The Trail Home (After B)

I designed the block and thought that the block from EQDraw by Pattie Anderson would compliment the block that I drew. It reminded by of an Aboriginal Quilt. This block ended up being fun because I could get a lot of different looks by changing the colours of the block and also moving the block using the Rotate Tool.

The Amazing Eight Pointed Star

The Eight-Pointed Star block is attractive in its own right, and has infinite potential for recolouring.

Here are some of the symmetric shapes that are possible. There could be an infinite number of asymmetric shapes.

Here are some more symmetrical patterns, also showing the possibility for diagonal lines diamonds and circles. They could all be drawn overlapping with transparency effects.
