Mid-Century Modern Sampler Quilt Block 1 Sputnik!
Class Note: Hooray! Due to the Judge’s previous commitments, we are not in court this Tuesday and Wednesday (2/18 & 19) (Monday is President’s Holiday… No Class, No Jury Service!) So WE ARE GOING TO HAVE CLASS on Tuesday (Muckenthaler and Buena Park) and Wednesday (Anaheim). WHOOPPEE!!!!
This is the first block post on a wonderful new journey through history. But not distant history… just 50 to 75 years back in time to the middle of the last century. There wasn’t a lot of quilting going on post WWII, but today, the designs of that era are finding a new audience, so I decided it was time we explored Mid-Century Modern design.
And of course, the Space Race was a huge component of Post-War America and Sputnik was the start of it all. So that’s our first block for our Mid-Century Modern Quilt!
Now, although the the Sputnik design is square, it will be put on a rectangular block. Just one-quarter of the pattern along with instructions for fusing the block. If you have questions about fusing or machine applique, check out my Fusing with Paper Backed Fusible Web Tutorial) and machine appliqué (Machine Applique – Easy 1-2 ZigZag Applique Stitch Tutorial).
