Disappearing Initials
Members were asked to make a quilt using only colours based on their initials, plus a neutral. A further complication was that it had to be based on a disappearing block.
We used our February 2024 meeting to explore different types of disappearing blocks - members then went away to cut, piece, cut and reassemble. Here are some of the results.
Red Woollen Cloaks and Tall Black Hats - by Sarah
For this challenge I chose fabrics in scarlet (for Sarah), ecru (for Elizabeth) and slate (for Sutherland). I enjoyed the process of cutting the blocks and putting them back together in different ways without having a plan, just curiosity as to how they would turn out. The colours reminded me of the national dress for Welsh ladies. I grew up in Wales and go back often to visit my Mym who is 92 and still a wonderful quilter! This one's for her
