A recent comment on an older blog post showing the Anvil Quilt Block inspired me to revisit the Electric Quilt project file.
I tried one of my variation blocks in a straight set design.
What if I set plain blocks in the corners?
What if I moved the color around just a bit?
How about I try the block on point?
And move the color just a bit.
Of course, one could try lots more by switching up the color/value altogether. That’s what makes design so much fun!

I thought that you might like to see a visual experiment on what color/value can do in a quilt design.
I am using the Autumn Tints block in a straight set and with the same five colors in every design that you see.
The very first design is the Autumn Tints block set side by side with no sashing. All of the other designs have sashing between the blocks (I wanted to see if I could introduce some perspective to the design).
I came up with even more variations just by moving the color/value around. Sometimes there are very interesting effects, such as squares appearing to ‘float’.
There will be a visually appealing look just for you if you experiment with color and value!
I participated in the Around the World Blog Hop in this post from last week. I encourage you to check out this week’s participants:
Cathi Godwin over at Quilt Obsession Linda Jo Reed over at Upheld in the Battle Amy Johnson over at Amy’s Free Motion Quilting AdventuresAfter a vacation, and a bout of congestion, I have finally played with on point settings using the Good Luck quilt block.
If you are looking for the straight set inspiration, click here.
The following design shows how the Good Luck quilt block looks set side-by-side in an on point setting.
Still on point, but with some rotation:
Not a fan, yet, but still experimenting.
What if I add more value?
Color and contrast can make a considerable impact.
I’m seeing pinwheels!
Still the same block; still set on point:
I might change the border, but I am liking the last two designs. How about you?
