Club EQ Album: March/April 2005 Challenge: Hide the Block! Page 5

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."

I think it is amazing how different the colored quilts appear! I really enjoyed this challenge.

I hope this block will work as paperpiecing.
I need my EQ5 even for painting and much for doing quiltstencils.

Dad's Plaids

This quilt uses the traditional coloring of the Whirlwind block and features a scrappy array of homespun fabrics.

Here, the Whirlwind block morphs into pinwheels when colors are placed in different areas.

Maybe Baby

The Right and Left blocks take on a traditional look in this baby quilt complete with heart-shaped quilting and a prairie point border.

Sophisti-cats

Here, the Right and Left block virtually disappears and is replaced by pinwheels on point. The Fancy Cats are from the Electric Quilt Embroidery Upgrade CD.

Playing Fields

Making a 3 X 3 layout makes this quilt look less effective than with 5 X 7, but the rules said 3 X 3, or 4 X 4!
The block is original, I imagine, as it makes no sense to complicate things except to be able to create the two quilts.

Playing Fields

Original block, based on colouring of the centre block and modified by making a false blue border inside the 3 true borders.

The trick compared with the first quilt is to colour to emphasize the tilted squares.
