Judy’s Virtual Quilt Challenge 5

Posted on April 14, 2019 | 7 comments

Back in March, Judy, the Virtual Quilter, posted Virtual Quilt Challenge #5.

We were to select a block from the EQ Library and play with it. We are learning to create applique designs!

Judy gave more examples here and here.

I wish I had more time, because this is a really fun challenge! As I play, more ideas keep coming, but this will have to do for now.

I chose to work with the block that is in the upper left square.

I am saving this file so that I can come back and play!

Judy’s Challenge 3

Posted on January 18, 2019 | 8 comments

Judy, of Virtual Quilter, posted her 3rd challenge in learning to use Electric Quilt.

We were to choose a kaleidoscope block, one made from many sections, and choose a fabric collection to play with. I chose the Faceted Star block and Modern Marks fabric by Christa Watson.

This was a great exercise! By playing with value/contrast, the block could be made to look so different without ever adding another block or more fabric.

With more play time, I could have come up with more variations, but here is what I have done with this challenge:

And just to see two of the many possibilites:

This was fun!

Judy’s Virtual Challenge 2

Posted on January 3, 2019 | 4 comments

I am late to the party, but better late than never.

I participated in the Virtual Quilts first challenge to use Electric Quilt 8 to play with a block. The result of that challenge is here.

Challenge #2 was to select one of my virtual designs and add Christmas colors.

I chose the Alpine Cross from this blog post to play with.

* You can also find the Alpine Cross by clicking on the Quilt Blocks tab above my header. There are more designs there for inspiration.

How I originally colored it:

Now in Christmas colors:

Thanks for the fun, Judy!
