This is the last designs of the year. I have had a blast these past 6 months, and would strongly recommend having a go if you have any wish to start your designing your own quilts.

The palettes for the following designs are on the groups Facebook page.

12 December: Ice Cream Sandwiches
This is the final design I choose to post on the group…

But I was playing around with stripes before deciding on the center square.

14 December: Modern Log Cabins
I wanted to play and make a modern log cabin version with this vibrant color palette.

This is the same block as a repeat which may be interesting if I change the colors around a bit (reducing the repeatability).

15 December: Winter looking outside in
This design was inspired by the color palette photo of the day. I loved the shapes in the window, the snow covered ledge and frame.

17 December: Luis Sacilotto Inspired
With this very green palette I wanted to play with a monotone stripe block, and using the shapes within shapes again.

18 December: Vases on the shelf
An abstract interpretation of vases on the shelf which was the photo inspiration for the color palette.

Next week, I am thinking of spending some time sharing some of the artists I have been inspired by of late. I love researching their works and seeing how I can use some of their ideas and build up to creating my own designs. I hope that this will be a great avenue to share.
