Positive – A Finished Quilt

This project was a priority for me and I am glad I completed it on schedule! I entitled it ‘Positive’ in reference to the Plus blocks and for the impression of power and energy it gives.

Je l’ai intitulé “Positive” en référence aux blocs Plus et pour l’impression de force et d’énergie qu’il dégage.

Interaction II – A finished Quilt

Interaction II is my response to the Pantone Quilt Challenge which features Viva Magenta, Pantone’s 2023 colour of the year. Interaction II est ma réponse au Pantone Quilt Challenge qui présente Viva Magenta, Couleur Pantone pour 2023. The organizers of the challenge suggested a few colorways from different brands of solid fabrics. It is just a guide though since none of them are exact match to the Pantone swatch. I had in my stash the two Kona colours suggested and I decided to incude both in my project. Kona Crush which I used for the striped area and which also… +

Girl Power – A finished Quilt

Girl Power is my response to the Red Shoes Challenge put together by patCHquilt, the Swiss Quilters Association.

But when our president first introduced the challenge in the newsletter, she referred to Red Shoes as a symbol of fight against violence towards women, as well as strength and confidence. I chose to work on the positive side of the symbolic as I prefer my quilts to be happy and energizing. A way to… +
