When we collected all of the blocks last month we had 48 and they were all so impressive we wondered how Kathy could even choose? After sending her all of the photos it turns out she couldn't! She wanted us to choose instead. We didn't really feel like we could either and it put us in a difficult position but Susan and Heather came up with a great solution. The board met and we arranged the blocks into three different groups of 16 guided by style they are Improv, Graphic, and Linear. Next we photographed the groups and sent those to Kathy. She picked her favorite, Graphic, for Quilt Market. What has worked out so well is the other groups will be made into quilts of which one will be shown at the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show and the other will be shown at the Northwest Quilting Expo! As the other two quilts are finished we will share them with you as well so you can see your blocks in their finished quilts. All of the quilts will be sashed and binded by a group effort of Susan, Heather, Ale, Linda, myself and quilted by Nancy. Before Violet takes the quilt off to Market I'll get final photos to share on flickr.
Thank you to everyone that contributed blocks they look so amazing together and I think they've inspired quiet a few new projects for people.

HOLY SMOKES! I just pee'd a little. It looks gorgeous, you guys did an amazing job!!
ReplyDeleteThis is AWESOME! I really want this quilt for my house (look out Violet!). I can't wait to see the other 2 quilts as well, all of the blocks were amazing, it'll be so sweet to have one at Sisters!!
ReplyDeleteLove it. And so happy to see my square in there! I feel honored to be in such good company. Can't wait to see how Nancy quilts it and to see it done.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, the quilt looks great! You have 16 blocks but 15 names...mine is the 16th...yay! :)
ReplyDeleteYay! I do wish we could transport that brick wall with all the blocks on it though. That was something to be reckoned with!
ReplyDeleteHey, I can do the binding on at least one...if you need help!
ReplyDeleteThis looks fabulous (as I'm sure the other groupings do too)! What a process you all went through, but it seems to have worked out well and it's exciting that each of the blocks will have an opportunity to be on display! Let me know how I might help in getting the others together.
ReplyDeleteI love your solution for grouping the blocks! All of these are amazing and wonderful, well done, PDX!!
