AnglePlay™ Challenge Class

May 2003 – More Samples to See!

Here are a few more of the quilts that have resulted from the experimental classes as well as the workshops taught across the country! To see others, take a look at the Challenge class page for March 2003.

Though most quilts pictured are tops at this point, some students have quilted and bound them to be entered in shows and competitions! If they have titles, I'm not aware of what they are; neither do I have quilt sizes at this point, since these snapshots were taken at reunions of the experimental classes. Some of the quilts were "hot off the sewing machine," of course, so the quilts are identified only by the name of the quiltmaker and the city in which she lives.

This is by no means all the pieces that have resulted from the workshops; more will appear in this column from time to time.

And so…here goes!!!

Reynola Pakusich, Bellingham, WA Reynola took the "framed block" idea one step further by filling each frame with a single fabric, and placing fabrics in such a way that some frames look empty; as though you are looking through them at an intriguing background.		Dale MacEwan, Lantzville, B.C. Canada This piece of Dale's was created as you see it here, but looks equally intriguing almost "any edge up."

Dale MacEwan, Lantzville, B.C. Canada This piece features only five fabrics; but since some of them vary in color from selvage to selvage, this piece looks like it involves many more different fabrics than it actually does.		Teri Bever, Sedro Woolley, WA Teri does a lot of work on the computer with quilt design programs before committing herself to fabric. This piece features 16 blocks, which when rotated can form any number of quilt designs. Teri's use of color certainly camouflages where one block stops and its neighbor begins.

Diana Johnston, Snohomish, WA Diana's quilt too is a 16 block repeat, which on first glance looks like a four block quilt. Diana recently had a "spring fever home repainting" episode—and creating this quilt for the newly repainted bathroom was part of it!		Patsi Hanseth, Mt. Vernon, WA Patsi's quilt required only two templates, but the more you look at it, the more pinwheels you see…

Mabel Huseby, Mt. Vernon, WA Mabel's clever reinterpretation of the traditional block Card Trick fairly dance around the edges of this quilt! Her use of vibrant colors only add to the "punch" of this piece!		Patsi Hanseth, Mt. Vernon, WA Patsi’s reinterpretation of the traditional Friendship Star not only coalesces into a larger motif which appears to be repeated four times, but also seems to create ribbons in the center which twine over and under the inner stars.
