QUILTMAKER'S BLOG TOUR - 100 DESIGNER BLOCKS VOL. 16

Block # 1553       Crossroad Pyramids

Picture
Hello my quilting friends and welcome to another stop on The Quilting Company's  Quiltmaker 100 Block Road Rally Blog Tour! I'm glad you have managed to travel this far and come visit my blog. I hope you're not too dusty from your travels. Here's my block, Crossroad Pyramids. I’m very excited to have a block featured in Volume 16 of Quiltmakers 100 Block Challenge!

I'm also excited to tell you that you can become the proud owner of your very own copy of this wonderful resource courtesy of the folks at Quiltmaker. I hope you're as excited as I am. Please read to the end to find out how you can get your copy. This offer has ended. Congratulations to Renee A.!

The inspiration for this block is fairly obvious, it’s the pyramids of Giza found in Egypt. I’ve always have been fascinated with Egypt ever since the King Tutankhamun exhibit came through the United states when I was a kid.

As usual I turned to my trusty EQ quilt design software to get things started and the block below on the left is what I came up with. Then I took another look at the block and I wondered what would happen if I used striped fabric in the place of the medium value. The block below on the right is the result. I rotated the stripe so that they all met in the middle. Now that things were moving along nicely it was time to pick out some fabrics to use.
I dug out a bunch of directional and striped fabrics from my stash to audition for the block. It was important to consider the scale of the printed fabric in relation to the size of the finished unit. The block wouldn't look the way I intended if the texture of the print is too large to fit into the finished unit.

To help me make that decision I had to cut an audition window from a piece of white paper at the finished size. Since this was going to be a 12” block the unit's the finished size would be 1 ½” x 1 ½”. Here are the contestants for the block as seen through the audition window.
As you can see some of the other choices would have worked out well others not so well. I decided to use the brown stripe for the block. If you use a stripe it’s important to starch the heck out of the fabric before cutting into it. This will help you to control the bias. If working on the bias freaks you out then try to find a stripe that is printed on the diagonal. That way the sides of the square will be on the straight grain when you cut your units out.

Let’s talk some more about scale. I knew that I would need to make up a baby quilt for a shower this past July. I decided to use this block, made at a larger size, for the quilt. My idea was that the block would be enlarged to 40” x 40”, which gave me a finished unit size of 5” x 5” for the square containing the stripe. Let’s go back and see what these fabrics would look like in a 5” square unit. I cut both a 5” and 1 ½” square so that you could see the difference between the two at the same time.
I decided to use the pink wavy stripe for the baby quilt. Even though it’s not a true linear image I thought it would make a funky quilt for a bay to stare at. I even did a mock up  of the quilt in EQ before making the quilt. Here they both are; the EQ representation and the finished quilt.
Alright now that we have gone over all the choices for the stripe and I’ve shown you the finished quilt, let’s talk about turning this into a rectangular quilt. If you add a row of Flying Geese across opposite ends of the quilt/block we end up with a lovely rectangular design. It’s just that easy!
Now let’s travel a little farther down the road and see what else we can do with this design. Here is the design using a palette of purple tonals and blenders from the EQ library. The first design, starting on the left, uses just three values. If we add some gradient values of purple, for the wings of the geese, to the palette we can get a gradient affect starting with dark valued center and lighter values when we get to the outer edges. The last example shows the reverse gradient.
Alright, you have traveled with me this far, how about one more variation of what you can do with this block. Here’s a four block quilt shown in the purple palette. One has the three valued block and the other uses the gradient block option. Both quilts have sahing to set off the blocks.
Well, I hope you found this blog interesting. For a chance to win a copy of Quiltmakers 100 Block Challenge Volume 15, please leave me a comment below. Let me know how you feel about working with fabric cut on the bias or what you think of my post.

The folks at Quiltmaker will be featuring different blocks each day. They will also have some great daily prizes and a grand prize drawing at the end of the tour. Click here to visit their Quilty Pleasures blog and learn more.

I want to share the story of my block with you. I belong to a quilt guild called the Connecticut Piecemakers and every year we have a pot holder exchange at our Christmas holiday luncheon. We make either a holiday themed pot holder or one themed for everyday use. I chose to make a holiday pot holder. When I started to think about a design I thought of poinsettias.

Picture
Picture
I began by doing a block search for a poinsettia block in my Electric Quilt software (EQ). I found ten choices in my search. The one I chose comes from the Block Base software I purchased from Electric Quilt Company. The block reminded me of Iron cross. The only problem was I was not about to attempt to piece it with a square in the middle as it was shown. No way! I haven't got that kind of patience. I figured I could find an easier way to do it. I really like foundation piecing because of the accuracy that can be achieved. So I altered to the block to suit my needs.
To convert the block I started by setting up my worktable drawing set up with a block size of 6 inches and 48 snap points. I then set the grid to 2 blocks horizontal and vertical. For Snapping Options, I made sure that the “snap to grid points on worktable” button and the “snap to nodes off drawing” button were on.

I selected the block for editing and then clicked the “Easy Draw” tab to edit the block. I then deleted the square in the middle that I didn’t like. I’m only going to work with one quarter of the block so I converted the rest of the lines into guides. Next I converted two of the lines in the point to guides.

I then used the “shape” tool to extend the remaining line to the edge of the block while trying to maintain the same angle as the original point. To do this turn off the “snap to grid points on worktable” button. The reason I did this is because I needed the pattern to be compatible to foundation piecing.

Next I connected the nodes with a line to create the other side of the point. I also added a diagonal line across the points where the square used to be. I then used the “shape” tool to stretch one of the lines on the point heading towards the center. This was also done to facilitate foundation piecing.

Now it was time to complete the block. I clicked “select all’ and opened up the “Symmetry box”. Next I clicked “Clone” and rotated the selection 90 degrees. I then carefully placed the selection so that it connected with the previous image at the node.

Then I zoomed in to center of the block so that I could make sure that the two images had indeed connected at the node. I repeated this step two more times to fill the remaining two quadrants. To complete the block add a horizontal and vertical line to delineate the four quarters. Then I colored the block. I started with a value placement similar to the original block.

Next I played around with the placement of values. I tried out a few variations before making my final choice.
Now that I had made my final decision about value placement it was time to pick out colors.

After I was done I started to realize that my block looked like an Iron cross. I decided to look up the Iron cross on Wikipedia to find out more about the symbol. While reading about its origins I came across a statement that said “It was ultimately derived from the cross pattée occasionally used by the Teutonic Order from the 13th century.” Well what the heck is a “cross pattee” I said to myself? Of course being the history geek that I am, I had to look up “cross pattee” and find out more about this symbol. It was pretty interesting so I’ll attach links for both web pages to the images of the crosses below.

As I was trying to think of a name for my block decided against using the name “Iron Cross” because it has negative connotations. As for calling the block “cross pattee” I wasn’t too keen with the idea either. If a history geek like me had never encountered the word before I didn’t think it would resonate with folks. So I went out on a limb and named it Maltese cross variation even though it doesn’t look exactly like a Maltese cross. My block is a bit of a mix between the two. Just like the cross pattee, on my block, the ends of the four cross points are flat. Yet instead of the sides of the cross points being concave, the sides on my block are straight, just like a Maltese cross.

I have a couple of books that are great resources for quilt block information and ideas; 1000 Great Quilt Blocks by Maggi McCormack Gordon and the Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Patterns by Barbara Brackman.  The poinsettia block I started with came from the Brackman book. EQ used this book as a reference for their Block Base software. In the 1000 Great Quilt blocks book my block resembles their idea of a Maltese cross. It seems that my interpretation isn’t that far off.
Getting back to the quilt block I want to show you a layout in a queen size with four different color variations. I used a 12” block, in a 6 block x 7 block layout, with a 1.25” inner border and 4” outer border. It finishes at 82.5” x 94.5”.

Hello Quilting Friends! I'm happy to announce that I have another block featured in Quiltmaker's 100 Designer Blocks. This issue is the 15th volume for Quiltmaker and the seventh for me. I hope you'll join me next week for the Quilty Pleasures Road Rally blog tour. The folks at Quiltmaker will have some great prizes for you. Plus each designer, including me, will be giving you a chance to win a free copy of this issue.

The tour starts next Monday, May 1, 2017 and continues through to Friday. Make sure that you check the Quilty Pleasures blog each day to see the blocks that are featured each day. Plus you don't want to miss out on your chance to win some nice schwag that they will be giving away. The date for my blog stop is Thursday, May 4th.

One of the prizes that they will have was donated by me. It's a beautiful snow dyed mandala that I made this past Winter. I've only done snow dyeing once before and it was a blast!. You can read about it by clicking here.

I waited almost too long to get around to snow dyeing this past Winter. All the snow had melted here in Connecticut but Mother Nature cooperated by giving me one last snow storm. So I made the best of it and procrastinated no longer. Take a look at the results in the gallery below. I'm not going to tell you which one is part of the Quilty Pleasures Road Rally prizes. You'll have to check their blog to find out next week.

The last thing I want to tell you is that my block has made it onto the cover! To celebrate I'll be giving away an extra copy of Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks.

Block # 1359                Conduit

Picture
      Welcome to my blog for volume 14 of Quiltmaker’s 100 Designer Blocks blog tour. This is my block. I named it “Conduit”. I’ll explain how I developed this block using my trusty Electric Quilt software in this blog. I will be sending one lucky blogger a free copy of Volume 14 at the end of the tour.

Congratulations to Barb Y. of California! I hope you find a lot of inspiration in this issue.
And a big thank you to everyone who visited and left a comment! I'm glad you enjoyed my block and my explanation.
The idea for this block came from my love of switching around the traditional value mapping of familiar blocks. I love Flying Goose units. They’re incredibly versatile to work with. By changing the value placement your ideas can travel into many different directions. I started with the Dutchmen’s Puzzle block shown below.
Picture
I handled the block like it was a four patch and rotated some of the double goose units. Next I changed the placement of the values to create a block that would tessellate with its neighboring blocks to create an endless tiling pattern.
Picture
Now it was time to choose the colors I would like to work with. I was feeling a bit psychedelic so I chose some stimulating colors for the unit. Here’s the block with the colors I chose.
Picture
First I used the block in a horizontal tile setting using the grey scale block. Then I plugged in the colored block to see what it would look like.
Then I played around with making it a bit more complicated. I wondered what the quilt would look like if I added alternate block coloring to the layout, below on the left result. I wondered what would happen if the values changed progressively through the design. This is the design on the right, below.
Going back to my first value map of the block I then wondered what would the quilt look like set on point. Here is the result in grey scale and in color.
I looked through the JPEG swatches in my EQ program for some blender and tonal fabrics to use in my design. On the left below, is an example of what it would look like with blenders from Quilting Treasures Fabrics. Next I needed to find fabrics in my stash to use in the block. Next I printed out the specification sheet from my EQ program, below right.
I took the image with me to look through my stash to see what would match the colors in my image as I imagined it. I started with the violet fabrics first. I needed one cool violet and the other needed to be a warm violet.
Picture
I found the two purples and now it was time to find the right green.
Flowing from left to right you can follow my process.

Now that I had my violets and my green it was time to look for the perfect red fabric to compliment the other colors.
At first I thought that I needed a true red color but when I looked at the violets and the green with the reds, I didn’t feel that they were the right match.

So I tried the very deep pink colors I have in my stash. These pink colors are so deep and saturated that they almost are like a red but they have a little more excitement to them. I really like the way these looked and on the right, below, is the one I chose from the box.
Now it was time to spec out the individual Flying Geese units that I needed to make.  After sewing up all the units and joining them together I was really pleased with the result!
I hope you enjoyed this blog post. Don’t forget visit my Facebook page (if you do FB) and click the “Like” button and also to leave a comment below. If you have already “Liked” my Facebook page then just leave a comment below. Do one or both of these things and you could be the lucky winner of a free copy of Volume 14 at the end of the tour. Monday, November 21 at 12:00 midnight is the deadline.

BLOCK # 1228         TILTED LILY

Picture
 Welcome to my blog for volume 13 of Quiltmaker’s 100 Designer block blog tour. This is my block. I named it “Tilted Lily” because the traditional Carolina Lily block is set on-point. This one is in a square setting. I’ll explain how this came about a little further down in this blog. I will be sending one lucky blogger a free copy of Volume 13 at the end of the tour. If you would like to be that lucky person you need to do two things, please visit my Facebook page and click on the “Like” and also leave a comment below.

Congratulations to Beth T. from Oregon! I hope you find a lot of inspiration in this issue.
And a big thank you to everyone who visited and left a comment! I'm glad you enjoyed my block and my explanation.

Picture
My first experience with the Carolina Lily block and Y-seams happened when I decided to enter the competition New Quilts from an Old Favorite. The theme for 2014 was the Carolina lily. I knew immediately that I wasn’t going sew a single Y-seam. No Way! I was sure that there had to be an easier way. The only idea that I came across was to make the lily from two Flying Geese units and a Half Square Triangle (HST) unit. The only problem with this technique was that it made the two opposite “V” sections of the petals too deep and the center “V” was too short. This gave the lily a distorted aspect.
I decided that I would work with the technique that uses two Flying Geese units and a Half Square Triangle unit. I figured there had to be a way to use this technique without the resulting distortion. To do this I needed to use my ever dependable Electric Quilt software (EQ). I drafted a single Carolina Lily block flower that had y-seams. I converted the block to guidelines and then drafted over the outlines and the diagonal line that creates the triangle at the bottom. Then I connected the ends of the diagonal with the “V” of the center petal. This creates a Half Square Triangle unit. Next I simply continued the diagonal line of the flower petal until it reached the side of the Half Square Triangle unit. I called these units “Tall” Flying Geese. To construct the “Tall” Flying Geese units I created a foundation paper pattern.
My next encounter with the Lily block and Y-seams was with our Quilt Guild’s raffle quilt. The design that we came up with was an on point setting and it included mostly non-directional applique blocks. The only problem was the setting of the lily block was directional and we felt that it threw everything off visually. After pondering this for a while a solution was found. In one of the magazines we saw a Sue Garman design, "Bed of Roses" that was set on point and included applique. In this quilt the designer used square set applique blocks around the center block. The directional aspect of the applique blocks around the center makes the design feel like a medallion quilt.    
So I decided that I could do the same thing with our Carolina Lily block by adding triangles to the sides creating a square set. And that’s how the Lily became “Tilted”.
I was planning on sewing “Tilted Lily” block with my “tall” geese technique when I realized that our quilt design also included a Blazing Star block which is also made with Y-seams. The Blazing Star block is used in the setting triangles as a partial block. Since both blocks include Y-seams I felt it would be confusing to use two different techniques to avoid the Y-seams. So I decide that whatever worked for the Blazing Star block would also work for the Lily block.

I knew that this block would be easier for me to construct if it was a foundation piecing pattern. I started by extending the seam lines to eliminate the Y-seams. I noticed that two adjacent areas contained the same color fabric, so I eliminated the seams line between those pieces.
Now it was time to apply the same idea to the Lily block and here is the result. A much simpler way to construct a challenging block.

Block # 1129       Calypso

Picture
Greetings! I’m glad that you have come to visit my blog for the volume 12 Quiltmaker’s 100 designer blocks blog tour. Here is my block. I named it Calypso because of it's colors it has tropical feel to it. As you know, I will be sending one lucky tourist will go home with their very own copy of this wonderful resource at the end of the tour. In this blog, I’m going to share with you my journey to the final block design. Read it to the end to find out how to get your chance at owning this issue of Quiltmaker’s 100 blocks. Also, don’t forget to visit me on Facebook and click the “Like” button. I would appreciate it greatly. 

As I told you in my last post, the inspiration for this block came from Seminole piecing designs. The design the I wanted to adapt into a block is called Rattlesnake. Here are a couple of examples of the Rattlesnake band design shown in grey scale.
Picture
Picture
Originally, I had used the design in the border of a wall-hanging I made for a guild challenge. I loved the way it looked in the finished project.
Picture
I started by opening up the block I had used in the Pansy wall-hanging. For the original block I had partitioned the side of the square into 7 divisions. I used the center section as placement for the crossing part of the design.
Picture
For this project I decided that I wanted the cross element to be narrower than it was. I thought that this would make the design more striking if a very bold contrast was introduced into that part of the block.
Picture
Picture
To match this new design direction, I changed the partition from 7 to 9 and connected the center section to make the crossing element. I left the old blocks design lines in as guidelines for you to see.
Picture
You can also see in the image above that I changed the size of satellite square from my Calypso block design during the development of the block design. I felt that the square needed to be smaller to compliment the narrower size of the cross element. It may only seem like a small change but I felt that it made a difference in the appearance of the block design. You can compare the blocks side by side below.
The next step in my process is to audition different fabrics into the design so that I may see what kind of fabrics that it favors. Can the fabrics used be of a large or small scale design. Also I want to discern how strong the contrast needs to be for the quilt design to have the appropriate amount of  visual impact. I use the fabrics found in my EQ software fabric libraries.
For this block it’s best to use smaller prints, solid and tonal fabrics. It’s also important to make sure you have a high contrast between all 4 fabrics. Here are some examples below
.
Now it was time for me to decide what fabrics I wanted to use when I made my block. I decided on dyed fabric. I hand dye fabric and had a ready supply. Next I chose my colors. Since the design needs a strong contrast, I decided to use complementary colors. I chose to use violet and it’s complement of yellow alongside orange and it’s complement of blue. I thought these would make a striking palette. I played with the solid color palette in my EQ software to find the right shades for my block design.
I used my 3 in 1 Color Tool from Joen Wolfrom help me find  fabrics in my stash that would give me a similar result. I rely heavily on this tool as my knowledge of color is learned and not instinctual. If you are like me then I would recommend you get one for yourself. It's a worth while investment.

I pulled out the cards that seemed to best match my vision. I considered Red-Violet and Purple for the violet background. For the yellow and oranges hues I compared Orange-Red, Orange-Yellow and Yellow-Orange. For the blue cross I had to choose between Aqua Blue and Cerulean Blue. I used these cards to help me search through my fabrics to find the perfect match. I pulled out my stash boxes for blue, violets, yellow and orange.

After much consideration I made my decision. These were my final choices for the orange & yellow squares, blue cross and violet background.
 I was very pleased with how close the finished block was to my original EQ version of the design. The block on the left below is the EQ image. Next to that I have my fabric palette and finally, to the right, the finished block. I was lucky to have the right fabrics but EQ helped me to identify them.
