Three versions of Sujata's Lattice design
are now hanging in the quilt shop.
So interesting to listen to peoples' reactions.
Miss Patty spent our second class squaring
the first half of her 100 blocks.
She's using a consistent background
and three (soon to be four) different fabrics
for her straight cut insets.
Her goal is a queen size quilt.
Miss Alice also spent her afternoon squaring blocks.
She has made 93 and her goal is also 100 blocks.
Miss Patty is squaring to 7.5" while
Miss Alice is squaring hers to 9 inches.
Those are some of Miss Alice's untrimmed blocks at the top
and the first four of Miss Jeanne's on the bottom.
Miss Geri will have a quilt 8 squares by 8 squares
when she is finished.
We all like her randomly curved lattice insets.
Miss Marie opted for this striking alternate layout.
Miss Geri, Miss Jeanne, and Miss Marie hard at work.
In the evening class,
Miss Connie is creating a table runner
using larger blocks that will square to 10" or 10.5"
Her layout will be 3 blocks wide by 10 blocks long.
Miss Denise's blocks feature contemporary prints,
Civil War reproductions,
vintage/retro vibe fabrics,
and a lot of other uber-scrappy goodness.
Her blocks square to 7.5" and her goal
is a layout 13 wide x 14 long.
You will definitely want to double click on the photo
to savor this scrappy Square in a Square
from Sujata's book - done Miss Connie's free-spirited way.
(she did this on her own over our holiday break)
Such an awesome book
and
such awesome students!
These are awesome. The class seems to work together well, generating a lot of synergy and great ideas. Each one is wonderful. It makes all the time you put into preparing and teaching so satisfying!
ReplyDeleteSo many different ways to use these blocks. What fun to help them through the process. I hadn't thought of curving the lattice insets. Wonderful.

ReplyDeleteJulie, You bring out the best from your students! That last quilt makes me want to bring out my entire stash of prints and start a new quilt. Please tell your students they inspire me. Just beautiful!
