Mosaic Quilt

Our patchwork and quilting teacher Pamela Jones has some absolutely amazing ideas when it comes to quilts.  She is always coming up with something very creative for her students.  The Mosaic quilt was one of these ideas where ladies would come along once a month and work on a block.  Prior to class they were given a colour swatch of the next fabric so they could bring along with them scraps of fabric to share.  They learnt applique and quilt as you go.

Above are Pamela's Mosaic blocks

Our first class was a hit.  They all began with a red block.

Pamela's first block was random shapes

Above is our ladies first class efforts.

Pamela later changed her red block so that she could feature a shape in each as she went along and work around that shape.

We then moved on to green for the following month

Second class finished blocks

Next came the orange block

Third class finished blocks

Each month came a new colour until there were 12 blocks

Some of our ladies made placemats as they seemed to end up the perfect size.  Others made quilts.  Here are some below.

  Such a colourful project and perfect for using up your scraps.  What would Pamela come up with next?..... stay tuned.
