QDAD: Quilt Design a Day

13 Replies

I have just finished my first week worth of quilt design a day. It has been a blast and can be difficult depending on what the palette is or what your inspiration is for that day. It does make you look at everything, and see if something will be right for the design that day.

“Broken Society”. This design started off as just hexagons, which reminded me of a hive and society…leading to me thing of today’s society…broken.QDAD_Broken Society_13JUNE2014

“Life” is inspired by the video play and the new google play icon. I loved these colors. This design is on my possibly make list.QDAD_life_14June2014

I loved how this color palette reminded me of earth and water colors. Anne had a great analogy of an abstract oasis so I am stealing the idea “Abstract Oasis”. This is also on my possibly make list. It is inspired by a painting at my office.

I have a couple of things underway this week. One of those is a birthday present for a friend.  I have decided to make a Noodlehead Supertote with this fabric pull…just loving the colors of these fabrics.

Anne from Play Crafts has been on a journey to do a “Quilt Design a Day“. I have been following along via instagram, and loving it. After reading a recent post, I am finally jumping on the band wagon.

Today’s Color palette (they use the daily seeds palette) was Safari Summer.

I already had something forming, based on this section of the Tapa Cloth, I have framed and hanging in my bedroom.

And that turned into this:

I am liking my first effort. Linking up with Anne over on the Facebook page.
