The challenge for PCQuilters this year is "The Cube." The project can be anything, quilt, pillow, tote bag, whatever. It's due in March 2023.
I found inspiration and how-to in a book purchased at the AQS show last April, Stunning 3-D Quilts Simplified by Ruth Ann Berry. I modified one of her designs in EQ and made my own version.
It's pieced in columns and here are most of the columns on the design wall. I pre-cut the triangles and kitted them up, and started the piecing at retreat. A couple more columns are still needed to complete the design, then the background needs to be filled in.
When finished, it should look like this EQ rendering. It'll be about 98" square when complete. Huge!
It's planned for my bed or to hang in my foyer. My husband likes it and it would certainly be a statement piece in the front hallway.
I've seen a couple of projects others are working on for the challenge, and all I can say is Wow, there are some talented quilters in this group!

Gorgeous color choices to really make this design shine. This will be beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSeveral of my friends have done RAB quilts. They are fascinating, but I'm not motivated ... yet ...
ReplyDeleteLove it! It looks very complicated! I would definitely hang it in the foyer for everyone to see!
ReplyDeleteThat's a really pretty project.
ReplyDeleteWowzers, it is big! What an impact quilt!
ReplyDeleteWOW! I can not imagine this as a simplified version. Stunning.
ReplyDeleteLove the dark green as the background--black is such a harsh background at times.
ReplyDeleteOh wow that looks very challenging to sew but a striking design!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with this challenging piece. I will enjoy seeing you bring it to life. Meanwhile, I've taken a photo of your Dresden Medallion quilt...I love it and find it inspiring. I have an Orange Peel quilt in the making and enjoyed the peels so much.
ReplyDeleteI am hear because someone else made your Steppers quilt and gave your website name. I am impressed by your designs, theywill be fun to make.
