Piet Mondriaan Mission

Have you heard of Piet Mondriaan? I didn't think I had, but my recent Richmond and Kew Consequences Quilt challenge had me looking him up for inspiration.

I didn't know the name, but I certainly knew the images:

The request was for solid fabrics in geometric blocks: a wider scope than the traditional rectangles, and a bigger variety of colours: I went for paper pieced (EPP) hexies, whilst sticking to the traditional colours


However . . .

For all the other Consequences Quilts I have also completed a machine embroidered block, and I decided to keep the tradition going, and designed and stitched this very traditional one too

And all the contributed blocks so far:

Doesn't it look fab!

Happy New Year to you all :-)
