Spring Green- Modern Quilt Challenge #2




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.
