Piecemakers Block of the Month 2024 - Catch up

I started working on the Block of the Month project for the Chilliwack Piecemakers Quilting Guild. Started in 2023. We’re at block 7. Here are my 7 blocks.

I hadn’t posted before because, well, I didn’t have a site before!

These blocks are 12 1/2” square

Block 1 - Colour Notes

6 strips side by side. Each strip has light fabric at top and bottom, and a colored area in the center. The colored areas are offset and don't match.

Block 2 - Square in a Square

9 smaller squares in 3 rows of 3 columns. Each square has a different color center square

Block 3 - Which Way Is Up

4 squares made up of 6 narrow strips of different colors, the horizon line goes in different directions for each square

Block 4 - Lightning

Colored strips forming a large zigzag pattern on the block

Block 5 - Nested Chevrons

4 narrow color strips forming chevrons with 2 peaks on one side of the block and 1 peak on the other

Block 6 - Propeller

4 squares with a curved piece, meeting in the center, giving the impression of an old plane propeller

Block 7 - Origami Bow Tie

4 squares looking like bowties. The center of the bowtie is actually raised and looks 3-dimmensional.
