Modular - Debbie Jeske - 2019

Inspiration: After lots of consideration, I chose the theme "Modular". Think modular bookcases, furniture, buildings. According to dictionary.com, modular can be defined as: "composed of standardized units or sections for easy construction or flexible arrangement." I created a pin board with inspiration photos to get my beemates thinking about possibilities. Up until now, my Bee Sewcial prompts had resulted in quite maximalistic quilts, and this time, I wanted to be a tad less so. Not that the block/s had to be minimalistic, but I asked my bee mates to pare down rather than get too detailed.

As far as fabric, I asked that all the 'backgrounds' of each module to be neutral - white, cream, snow, natural, etc. And the lines between each module to be quite dark - black, dark gray, dark blue, or even very dark purple such as Kona Raisin. The one exception to the above was to give each maker the option of incorporating ONE piece of coral or orange into their work - possibly a module background - maybe somewhere else. But that was totally an option - if it felt, right, do it; if not, ignore it.
