How Did she do this center block?
http://themodernquiltguild.files.wor...1/img_5867.jpg
I have magnified this quilt and am still unsure how the center was done. Looks like one block? Were some foundation pieced and some appliqued? Is there a pattern for this quilt? I searched but no success. I mean, it is pretty simple to use and really just a unique arrangement combine with colors to be different, but that firework center..........how wide do you suppose these blocks are? Here is where it was featured http://themodernquiltguild.wordpress...estival-recap/

I have found a gallery of all her quilts, but still trying to find if she offers patterns. Enjoy! http://tarafaughnan.com/quilts/

An interesting design.
My guess would be that the centre was done in two pieces and then sewn together.
If you look closely you can see the centre points do not quite match. There is a straight line going from the one o'clock position thru to the eight where the join is. It wouldn't matter where the join is though.

I'm not much into the modern designs, but I admit I do like this one.

I saw that, too, and loved it. I wondered if she had placed the colors of the string carefully but then concluded she didn't. I think as long as you alternate dark and light, it would work. I hope you try it and share with us!

I went to her site & if you scroll all the way to the bottom, after all the comments, you can leave a reply. Perhaps if you do that, she will respond. I think her quilts are stunning though they are not something I would do. Her use of color & all solids is really amazing. Hope she will share her tips/info w/you. Good luck.
