Form Follows Color

Sampler quilts are a fun way to play with new colors, designs and techniques. This original sampler combines piecing, applique, and embroidery in a setting that brings it all together.  (Also, scroll down for a FREE setting pattern!)

Form Follows Color, made and quilted by Christiane Ermke 

Christiane Ermke says, "My quilt group (Piece Makers) had a challenge in 2023. We randomly picked every month a shape and a color and created something quilty out of these two prompts." 

Christiane says that her biggest challenge was to find a way to combine all the blocks in a pleasing way. Creating a "path" that connects the blocks is a fabulous idea. We love her technique: 


p.s. We recently updated our Free Pattern Days for Easy Modern Quilts (Part 1 and Part 2).  We hope you enjoy this FREE Windham Fabrics pattern called City Cycles by Tammy Vasser.  It uses a similar setting to showcase fabrics from a collection (CLICK HERE for PDF download!)
