Club EQ Album: March/April 2005 Challenge: Hide the Block! Page 4

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."

Betty Woerner
Star Power 2

I'm sure that I took this design from one of my EQ products, but when I went looking for it to see what the design was named, I couldn't find it. SENIOR moment. This was really fun to play with and I had a hard time deciding which design to send before I re-read the rules and changed the fabrics to plain. I love using the batiks.

I changed the corner triangles from dark to light so that the block would stand out.

Laurie Hopman
Secret Garden

Same Judy Martin block as the other, called Lake Superior (c)2000 that I saw on her website, and same setting with sashing. This time it feels like peeking through the fence and trellises into a garden on a rainy day.

Southwest Sun

Block is called Lake Superior by Judy Martin (c)2000 that I saw as BOM on her website and drew out. She suggested "tranquil forest, lake and sand hues"but I guess I was in a different mood. I set it with sashing as her example suggested and still got a very interesting effect with different coloring.

Falling Timber

The block is from the EQ Library and is a variation of the 2 color of the block. I think it looks like a piece of lattice.
