Saturday morning cartoons were a big deal when I was a kid and one of my favorites was the Jetsons. The show was released in 1962 and there were 3 seasons of flying cars, robots, and easily prepped meals. The show was set in 2062 so we've not long to wait for those flying cars!
Why am I talking about the Jetsons?
They are my prompt for my year 2 @unscriptedquiltsbee bee mates. Using a color palette from the series, I asked them to be inspired by shapes and make a simple block surrounded that shape with background fabric. Think square-in-a-square but instead with an irregular shape. Everyone was sent a FQ of Painter's Palette Lapis.
My month is June and happy mail has already started to arrive from my bee mates.

Aren't these fun?
I don't really know the final design for this project but it is fun to lay them on the design floor and play around.
My year 1 quilt was called Play Time! and hung at QuiltCon!
I love the use of a shared fabric to help drive continuity and I love all the shapes you have already received. I look forward to seeing how it evolves and comes together for you!
ReplyDeleteSounds very fun, They are pretty. I love improv blocks. Reminds me of the Play quilt along you hosted some years ago. I enjoyed doing that one a lot.
