Lattice Class - Part One

These are the first few blocks

made by one of my evening students -

her first ever project from Sujata's book.

Her array of fabrics includes a mix of reds, yellows,

blues, and oranges in addition to these greens.

She was nervous at the beginning

but has taken to the process

and is now excited about her

quirky and super scrappy approach.

Miss Marie started with these colors

along with several greens and purples

and then added a few more during class

including a golden yellow and two different pinks.

Miss Patty is making her version

with this floral in every block.

She'll use the three colors on the plate

as her inserts to make a modified version

of Sujata's lattice with straight-ish cut inserts.

The darker colors under the plate

will eventually become her borders.

Miss Jeanne is going B-O-L-D with her version.

Miss Alice is also going to do a modified version because

she wants all of her inserts to be the print named "Figgy."

She added one more color to her squares during class,

a warm rich orange like one of the leaves in the print.

Miss Geri started with a layer cake 

and added a few more colors to her mix -

her first blocks look wonderful.

I didn't get photos of Miss Linda's fabrics

but she is going with clear brights

from the Hungry Caterpillar line

alternated with white on whites.

I had used a layer cake to make step outs

and a few sample blocks.

After class, I sewed up the rest of the blocks

to create this 48" x 72" layout.

I'll get the top sewn together and

piece a scrappy back with the leftover blocks

and share the results with the students 

during our second class.

Then the top and back will be donated

to one of our local quilt guilds

for their hospice quilt project.

It is so much fun to watch

how different students approach

the designs in Sujata's book

and then help them make

their ideas come to life!
