Color Group: Row Layout<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Kathleen and I were at the BAMQG Sew Day\/Meeting, so we took all the blocks and laid them out and tried to figure out a way to put the quilt together.<\/p>\n

The row layout was the best of the way to use all the blocks at once.<\/p>\n

We didn’t think it was great, but it was almost the best of all of the layouts we tried.<\/p>\n

\"Color<\/a>
Color Group: Offset Row Layout<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One of the trial layouts was also a row quilt layout, but, in this version, we offset the blocks a little bit.<\/p>\n

We were trying to make it a little more modern while making it look good.<\/p>\n

It just looked messy to me. Kathleen didn’t like it either.<\/p>\n

Color Group: On Point Layout<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We also tried out an on point layout. I did like the extra whitespace, but the problem was that block patterns didn’t work with the on point layout.<\/p>\n

So, we went full on modern. We split the blocks up and used 5 in a row for two quilts. Two blocks will be on the back of one of the quilts.<\/p>\n

Color Group Final Layout 2<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We will use a lot of the Kona White to make the quilts ~48×60. These will go to a women’s shelter, we think, which is why we are making them the size we decided on.<\/p>\n

We might put one column of blocks closer to the edge and on the other quilt closer to the center.<\/p>\n

I am in charge of one of the quilts and Kathleen is making the other. I haven’t started yet, but plan on doing so as soon as I remember how to sew. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
