Deco Breeze Quilt

by Kristyn Jansen

As a block-based quilt, you can rearrange the blocks in Deco Breeze to be at different points in the rows and create a whole different effect. Playing with color and where the lights and darks go can also create another look. Play around to see what effect you want to create with your version of this quilt.

"The inspiration for this quilt came from my daily walks around my neighborhood. I saw a lot of these decorative blocks around the houses and after doing some research, found that they were known as Breeze Blocks that were part of Mid Century Modern design. I found all the different designs and patterns to be quite interesting and then started to draw out different concepts and combinations, one of which resulted in this quilt."
