Project QUILTING Challenge 8.1 – Eight is Great

I was inspired by the art gallery painting to experiment with layering.  I found the work of Carol Ann Waugh, Stitch and Slash, very helpful to the process of creating the layered look.  I appreciated the open ended creativity that the challenge choice allowed for rather than having to use a specific block pattern. In this case I have used eight layers to create this 8 by 11 inch art quilt called Going Around in Circles. 

I have decided to use the Project Quilting challenges to experiment with new techniques that I haven't done before.    I used this Stitch and Slash circular technique and I also faced the back of the quilt where I typically put on a binding.

Hexi Coasters by Barbara H

For the first Project QUILITNG Challenge – Eight is Great - I made my DIL a hexi table mat for her birthday, and made a hexi coaster from the scraps. 

She asked for more, so here they are - eight coasters, each made with eight pieces of fabric (the center hexi, six surrounding pieces, plus the backing), not counting the batting. I used scraps, of course, and tutorials from Canoe Ridge Creations and Freshly Pieced.

BB 8 by Tracy R.

BB 8, Creativity meets practicality. While in the Wisconsin northwoods started drafting an image of 8 bit/ pixilated BB 8. Decided to go a more manageable size 31 x 41 finished. Included 8 of my Star Wars collector pins for a finishing touch.

This is my first attempt at applique and flange binding. New Year "resolution" met, actually finished a project. Yeah.

Gregory’s Whacky Eight by Jen Mulder

Here's my entry for challenge 1 of Project QUILTING

I call it Gregory's Whacky Eight.  I have wanted an excuse to do an 8 repeat stack-n-whack quilt for a while and this challenge was perfect for that.   The repeat on the focal fabric was 23 inches, so I had to get 5 yards to get the 8 repeats, then I stacked and whacked all of it to create the 42 blocks that would finish at 10 inches each.   It was a tad too busy for my taste when there wasn't sashing, so I added those and magically it measures 74 x 86 inches.  

The focal fabric and the backer (not pictured) are both from Gregory's Garden collection.  The Purple and Prussian are both Kona Cotton Solids.  I create in Madison, WI USA

Nautical Pillow by Mary Jordan

Created by Mary Jordan for Project QUILTING Challenge 8.1 – Eight is Great.

Made this pillow for my daughter.  It has 16 pieces of fabric in it (2x8) with some basic straight line quilting and measures 10.5 inches square.  Her guest bedroom has a nautical theme and was hinting she would like something with a red cross on it.    I quilt (live) in Blaine, WA right off Drayton Harbor and Semiahmoo Bay and enjoy walking along the spit and finding sea glass.   I find I get inspired by the colors, textures and what I find on my walks..
