WHAT ABOUT MAKING A BLOCK INTO A PICTURE?

Do you consider yourself a modern quilter?  I love the fresh, simple lines of these quilts and when I saw this block in Elizabeth Hartman’s new book, Modern Patch Work, I had to try it.  I love the size of this block.  It was much larger than I had thought it would be.  The finished block is 15” X 20”.  I placed it on the dark background thinking you could see the block better, however, now it is difficult to see the black sashing which really sets it off.

When I brought it upstairs from my sewing room to take a picture in natural light, it occurred to me how nice this block would look in a frame on the wall.  So I taped it to a picture I had hanging on the wall.  I love it.

Here is a picture at a slightly different angle.  I’m seriously considering about getting this block matted and framed.  It gives my family room a whole new, updated feeling.  Elizabeth's blog is Oh, Fransson!  Thanks Elizabeth!

On Another Note:  Anna Maria Horner has an interesting way to make circles.  Check it out!
