Bad Art Day- October meeting

We met this past Tuesday for our second meeting.  We had show and tell first this month, which we will have each month.  If you have something you have finished or a project in process please bring it and show the group.  We all love seeing what everyone is making.

Jan led us in an exercise designed to get us thinking outside the box and to think about using design principles in our quilts.  The exercise was called bad art~ we weren't trying to make complete projects, but to play and have fun while thinking about our designs.

We focused on a few principles such as unity, focal, point, using the color wheel effectively, and composition to name a few.
 
Here we are hard at work and thinking quickly.



Here are the bad art pieces that we came up with.




Next month we will be making a landscape quilt.  Please bring your sewing machine, basic sewing supplies, and the supplies from this page: 

Have a great month!
