Fun at the Curve it Up BOM

Last night those of us attending the Curve it Up block of the month at Stitch Studio had a fun time.  The instructions beg conversation - how to measure an inch down on triangle.....well, we had several thoughts on the matter...it was fun and we all learned something.   Every time we meet we get a bit more relaxed.  While I missed the first class in September and the November class was victim to a snowy, snowy day, I feel that we're getting to become more familar...that's when the fun can really begin.  We will be done in March, but will need an excuse to continue, Michelle!

 Our lesson this month was using the ruler to make a modern type Dresden plate.  This student designed hers like a bow tie.  If in a quilt of all the same pattern the bow ties would be very cool!

This student made arrows without realizing it as first....the fun with curves....We all had the same instructions, just different fabric choices.

 The two here are mine - ahh - you didn't get to see the ahead of class.....see my oops below?

 This student work that Michelle is focusing on shows a fussy cut center.  Looks very, very chic, but was she just trying to escape make one more set of curves?!!! Probably not.

I found this picture on the Modern Quilt Guild website while looking for interesting info for you all....it has a Grand Rapids area connection.....can you guess....

It's entitled the Eames Block.  You can find it and more inspiration here at MQG.Look at all the points that meet on the diagonal and the curves....oh my gosh!
