Ready for a new Block of the Month? You won’t
want to miss this one! Kim’s been inspired by the leaded windows from Frank
Lloyd Wright’s Prairie-Style homes and the Arts and Crafts movement in general.
This quilt is beautiful—and a bit different
from previous block of the months. The picture here is a rough draft, and Kim will refine the design throughout the year--but you get the idea!
Instead of making one 12” block each month,
you’ll find that some months you might make several small blocks, or a single
long block, and some larger blocks that might take a couple months to finish up!
You’ll even piece Seminole patchwork strips, which is a traditional technique
in which you make strip sets, cut them up, and sew them back together. At the end of the year, as always, we'll have a separate workshop for finishing the quilt.
Lustrous golds, verdant greens, deep browns
will be the palette and we’ll play with value throughout the year to achieve
that radiant, luminous beauty of leaded glass.
Sign up now and spend a year learning about
Frank Lloyd Wright and the Arts and Crafts movement in this very special 2010
Block of the Month.
We've already started, but feel free to join in and catch up!
