#1: It was purly improv. No rules. Some had some issues, not many, but some.
#2: BROWN
Recently, I read something a promenent "Modern" quilter, high up there in the ranks, so to speak, said, "Brown is not a modern color." It was at that moment, my opinion of Modern quilting changed and I realized that I was not a "Modern" quilter. The term I prefer now is "contemporary" or "improvisational" - mainly because I enjoy piecing with a changing plan. Brown is not a four-letter word!!!
So, with these blocks, I will be playing, cutting, trimming, turning and designing as I go. The picture below displays the wonderful "piecings" my Hive 3 hivemates have sent from their warm homes to me last month. They are placed on the design wall at random, in no order.
Thank you for these wonderful "blocks"!! I can't wait to be able to play, have fun and then show you the end result! (Of course, I have started playing but I won't show you anything until the end; but I will try and document the process along the way!)

That modern quilter (a fabric designer, right?) will prominently use brown in her fabrics, though--I thought it was so weird when she said that. All this argument about what is "modern" or "not modern" is so silly, and I certainly think your quilts fit the bill. You just do you! :)
ReplyDeleteI love seeing all the blocks together on your design wall! I'm with Sylvia, the modern or not modern argument is silly. I am a quilter and that makes me happy. I can't wait to see how your quilt turns out!
