Exquisite Quilt Game No. 5
Goal: Create a 9”x9” finished size blocks (send me 9 ½”x9 ½” block) that connect to other blocks through a common connector point. All other design elements of the block are left to the creator.
Rules: Directions below are based on finished block size of 9”x9”.
1. Depending on the number of participants, each participant will send one or two blocks for this collaboration. There are three connector options and each collaborator will choose 1 or 2 connector patterns to create your block...but each block is a different pattern For example, your Block #1 is a right-angle connector pattern and Block #2 is an Ender Connector Pattern. If you make more than 2 blocks, only 2 blocks need to be different connector patterns.
2. Connector points are centered on each side and are 1” wide by 1” long at the point of connection.
3. Create a block, and within the block, join both connector points with the mid-value color fabric.
4. Block design and connector design is up to the designer. Only the point of connection needs to be 1” wide.
5. Any piecing technique can be used to make the block: pieced, FPP, EPP, Applique, Improv, etc.
Colors:
1. All fabrics used are solid colors only.
a. Fabric Color 1: White, any shade of white is acceptable, except not off-white or cream.
b. Fabric Color 2: Black, any shade of black is acceptable, except not charcoal.
2. Connector Color: Your choice of any mid-value solid color fabric that falls in the Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue and Purple pallet.
a. Mid-value color is your most available colors that can be purchased.
b. When viewed in a black and white photo, the color should NOT read white or black, but a gray in between white and black.
3. Minimum: Use both Fabric Color 1 and 2 plus the connector fabric.
