Block Builder Runner Up from Generation Q Magazine!

This just in from the Generation Q peeps! I’m so excited! Here is what they said about my entry:

In every issue of Generation Q we present you with a new “starter” block in our Block Builder Challenge. And we ask you to take some time to play with the creative side of your brain to “finish” a block concept from that point. In our June-July 2013 issue, we gave you this block to play with:

We had SO MANY great entries that it was hard to pick just the top five.  We managed, though, and  you can see those winners in our just-released June/July 2013 issue.  However, we just had to share these “runners-up” to whet your appetite for more.

Lisa Bee-Wilson of  Towerhouse Quilts, Lowell, Oregon came up with this block. We love the cool, modern palette with the strong graphic. A mix of subtle and strong all wrapped up in one.

Lisa says,  “I call it “Zap!” because it just zapped into my consciousness one afternoon. I think I might even make it into one big quilt….there would be lots of room to play with longarm quilting designs.“
