Negative Space Quilts

In November the No Rules Quilters used "negative space" as our inspiration. 

Below are some of the projects that were made by members.

 

Jane made a sign with our group's name.

Joyce tried a couple of different ideas for negative space.

Tam showed us a project she had completed.

 

Zipper Quilts

The No Rule's Quilters decided to suggest themes for members to work with each month.

In October, our theme was using zippers in art quilts. 

 

Jane used a 1940's pattern as her inspiration.  Her attention to detail encouraged me to

take numerous photos. 

 

Wanda made the following quilt using zippers.

 

 

 Wanda brought the finished quilt in December, her quilting was gorgeous.

 

Barb used an old sweater and a child's photo to make the following zipper quilt.

 

I didn't take a close up photo but hopefully you can see the neat details and dimension.

 

Linda used zippers on the lady's lips and eyes.

 

Linda's lady has hair made from tiny fabric scraps.
