Another modern project completed in 2020-2021, despite COVID restrictions.
The MODley Crew had a great project for 2020-21: a Raffle Quilt for our Quilt Show in October 2021
A total of 180 blocks were pieced from 3" x 7" brightly coloured donation fabrics.
The final blocks of the Raffle Quilt are due on January 14, 2020
Look at the great start!!

2019 Challenge Block: Art Deco Style
ART DECO design, like Modern Quilting, was characterized by its use of bold, primary and secondary colors – red, black, green, orange, yellow, blue, white. In Florida, Art Deco buildings still abound using “beachy” colors – salmon, cream, pale greens and blues, gray – the softer side of primary colors if you will. However, please feel free to use whatever color combination you choose.
Sharon will be leading the meeting

Challenge Block: Wonky Star turned Chicken
Will you take on this easy challenge? The ‘Wonky Chickens’ are easy, but challenge your creativity.
See the photo from Gwen Marston’s book, Liberated Quiltmaking II, available at the Mission Library.
Bring your ‘Wonky Chicken’ to the January meeting to share and talk about how you approached the challenge and what you learned. There are very few rules and they only apply if you wish to donate you block for a NICU donation quilt. You may like your piece so much that you decide it’s a ‘keeper’.
Instructions: Make a Wonky Chicken block with a finished size that is divisible by 3 inches and no larger than 18 inches finished. Use ‘low value’ fabrics in the background.
Anything else is up to you, the designer. A close look at the photo will show some 3D options.
The following links have instructions to make ‘Wonky Stars’ but there are no rules. Experiment and have FUN!
