Club EQ Album: March/April 2005 Challenge: Hide the Block! Page 3 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! -Barb Vlack |

Carolyn McCready I don't know if
this star has a name. It is my variation. I changed it so many times
I lost the original name!! I got lost with my head in the Stars! |
Carolyn McCready This is the identical
layout of blocks. I coloured the block in several ways and then set
them in quilt layout. Then I used the symmetry tool till I got a layout
I liked. With the quilt on the screen I recoloured parts till I arrived
at this result. To me it looks like stars with our glorious Northern
Lights dancing around on one of our Prarie summer evenings. |
Celia Norman I originally planned to use the same fabrics in both the before and after versions but the after one needed a stronger contrast than the before. So I ended up with different values of the same colours. Canmore, Alberta |
Celia Norman When I read the challenge this month I thought, "Hey, I do that all the time. I just need to go to my files and send one off." But when I looked I saw that that they all use two blocks not just one. But I had so much fun playing with this idea that could not stop. I now have several samples of this type of design. My husband teases me about my huge number of "virtual quilts" but I think I might actually turn one of these into a "reality quilt" some day. This block is "Mosaic, no. 5" from the block library.

This block was shown
on Simply Quilts. It was demonstrated by Leriene Nevaril. This block
can be changed into 3 different blocks but when set into a quilt and
you change the colour you come up with the star layout. |

Judy Best I started out with the Cornucopia block from the Block Library but I wanted my bouquets on an angle so I needed to redraw the block. This gave me beautiful bouquets of spring flowers which then turned into . . . Ontario, Canada |
