It started out as a round robin block exercise. The exercise was inspired by a different bullseye project done by the Quilt Mavericks quilt group. We send each other squares of a certain color of fabric and proceed to add circles\u00a0 (or another shape) to them using the bullseye pattern. The interesting thing about this pattern is the way one can\u00a0play with color. It is interesting to see the colors change as additional layers of fabric are added. When the blocks were complete, we cut the squares up and kept some of each block and sent other parts to the others, so the quilts are truly \u2018sister\u2019 quilts. The arrangement of the blocks is my own design. Julie and Adrienne arranged their blocks differently. The project has expanded to\u00a0the point where we are working on creating a bullseye quilt for each of the rainbow colors.<\/p>\n<p>Passionate Purple was a harder one for me to make. I tend to work on purple quilts in December and January when there is little light. I find that the purple fabrics suck all of the life out of the room. My reaction is not to work on the piece or to be depressed. I did finish this one and am pleased with how it came out. I really want to work on the next colors and may just have to work with Julie as Adrienne, as of 2016, lives in Morocco.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Materials 100% cotton fabric 100% cotton thread Techniques Machine pieced Longarm quilted Details: Year: 2010 Size: 63\u201dx 56\u201d Fabric: various Quilted By: Colleen Granger Details The Bullseye quilts are part of a project I am working on with\u00a0Julie Zaccone Stiller\u00a0and\u00a0Adrienne Acoba.
