Join the NJMQG for The MQG Modern Block Sampler. We will be sewing blocks from The MQG Modern Block Sampler which was released last year featuring quilt blocks designed by fellow MQG members from all over the world. Blocks were designed by Tsitzi Bejarano of the Mexico MQG, Birgitta Jadenfelt an individual member, Madhuri Sapru of the India MQG, Tamara Stunnell of the Melbourne MQG, Irina Timofeeva an individual member, and Emmely Treffers of the Dutch MQG.

The finished block size is 12″x12″ and has a recommended skill level of confident beginner. Sampler quilts are a good way to practice your skills and build new ones along the way.

All participants will be sent an email on the 15th of each month with the instructions for a quilt block. We will sew these blocks at home with our own fabric choices and share our progress along the way. This is not a mystery quilt!

Please sign up to be included in the emails for the sew along!

Libs Elliott is an imaginative textile artist and designer who explores the intersection of technology and traditional craft by using generative design to build handmade quilts. Libs Elliott is known for using computer code and algorithms to create her random quilt patterns. A deep appreciation for craftsmanship, design history and future-focused applications are all reflected in her work. Libs lives and works in Toronto, Canada. In this class, we will work on the blocks that are used in Libs’ Bloem quilt pattern.  We will practice curved blocks and half-square triangles, learn how to successfully piece curves and how to sew blocks together to ensure matching seams with tips and tricks along the way. We’ll also cover the various ways these quilts can be quilted for maximum effect.
