I am getting my blog a little more up to date. Here is my submission last Spring 2010 for the second Modern Quilt Guild Challenge #2. This is the paragraph I wrote about it.
This study in green is named "Spring Green". Being in the Midwest in winter creates a longing for spring yellow-greens. Hence, my color choice of green. The design is based on an old-fashioned wooden window frame. Since I love geometric designs, I took a picture of the window frame in a coffee shop liking the strong vertical lines which draw your eyes upward. To emphasize the weight of the bottom section, I decided to block it up onto different size rectangles of color to provide a solid base for the quilt. Then I used the same blocks to create the vertical dividers. I did not want the quilt to actually look like a representation of the window frame, but I just borrowed the structure.
