Raspberry Kisses Feb BOM

Lets keep the love going!

Raspberry Kisses is Feb BOM
Due Feb 25th Meeting

What Makes this Modern?: 

Just purely popular - this raspberry Kisses block has been the BOM (guild block lotto) for over 15 different guilds, and a number of them this year alone! Sometimes its unknown exactly why certain blocks become popular but this one may be due to its fun pop of color in the X and a slightly different interpretation of the economy block.

Technique:

a modern X block- building on the economy block style

This block is based on the tutorial by Wood Spoon Quilts:

Love Block

Due January 28th Meeting

What makes this modern:

"Words" or Typography in quilts in the modern movement have a lot of impact.  Text can be improvised or intentionally pieced.  A lot of consideration can be given to typography and scale to dramatize the effect

We are using SOLIDS for this project

Canadian MQG Block Lotto Challenge

By the miracle of the internet Canadian Modern Quilting Guilds have collected together to share experiences and information. While doing so they figured out that we all love BLOCK LOTTO'S!

First watch this video: https://youtu.be/RtM9VBfutF4

So here is your Canadian MQG 2018 Block Lotto Challenge:

"Wedges as Topography"

 This block was designed by Adrienne Van Halem @agentpeachquilts . It uses a 'wedge' to represent a modern landscape. 'Topography' is the study of the surface of the earth, including natural features like mountains and rivers plus man-made features like buildings and roads.

It can be simple or complex.

The wedges can be horizontal or vertical, or both, or in any direction.

Specifics

Dates: This block was released at the October meeting and
 will be collected at the November Meeting (Nov 26)

Colours: Use solid colours AND include some white (a bright white) somewhere in your block.

Size: 9" finished (9.5" unfinished)

Sharing

Part of the fun in doing a cross-country block is that we can see what everyone is doing!!!

• Share on Instagram using the hashtags #cdnmqgblocklotto2019 #wedgesastopography #calmqgblocklotto
• Share on Facebook on Modern Quilting in Canada, Canadian Modern Quilters, and Ottawa Modern Quilt Guild
• blocks shared on Instagram by Nov 26th will be entered into a draw for a prize!

The Usual Rules

This block lotto will still run just like any of our other in-guild lottos - bring your entries to the meeting, and we'll draw one or more winners to take home the blocks... etc...
