Inspirations and Challenges

At July's meeting, I shared two inspirations from a January 2012 issue of Sunset magazine.

The first was a large scale painted pattern on the wall by a San Francisco artist, Tim Balon.



He started with a simple modular motif. The article showed in altermate arrangements and colors. This would make a great modern quilt block and offer further possibilities with seam placement. 

Print a copy of the article from here or here and the template here. Or maybe you'd be inspired to create your own block.

The other article highlighted a painting - a modular block repeated to make a cross-weave pattern -

Arleen has taken on the challenge of interpreting this as a quilt top. Maybe we'll see her take on this at the next meeting. Anyone else game?
