Virtual Quilt Block Lens One
These designs use a dozen or so different techniques in GIMP. I will present another Quilt Block Lens soon that will showcase Quilt Blocks that are created in other ways (not using gimp), so that you will have examples of different ways you can join in the project..
So Many Techniques!
PC Quilt Sampler Block
Virtual Quilt Block created with GIMP to look like a quilt block sampler. As the title implies, I created this design using several techniques. This was a test design that turned out to be one of my favorites. It would take a long time to remember each of the steps, techniques etc, that I used so I will share little by little on designs that use less techniques all at once. Feel free to create your own 'sampler' block as you create different kinds of designs. Sun Feather Quilt Block
Virtual Quilt Block created with GIMP. Whimsical combination of feathers that resemble sunshine. I really loved working with the vivid colors on this one. Quilting Design Ideas For Virtual Quilt Blocks

Butterfly Quilt Block
This design was made with GIMP using a technique I remembered from grammer school. Covering the background with multicolored random designs, then adding a second layer covered in black. Then the black is erased to reveal the colors. The next step was to merge the two layers and blend them into the images that you see. A whimsical butterfly scene.

Elagant Quilt Block
Abstract Daisy Quilt Block
This image is a photo art image. First the photograph is edited with gimp to remove the background. Then the pedals are given a treatment that makes them look like seeds. Some finishing touches, a new background, and some highlighting/shadowing all worked together to create this unique photo art design. String Art Quilt Block
This is another example of the early grammer school technique I discribed in the Butterfly Quilt Block (above). This one was done with the same technique up until the stage when the dark foreground is removed to reveal the multicolored background. At that point for this design I used kolidascope technique. Technically, I have only created one quarter of the block, while the remainder is copies/rotated to make up all four corners. Even Fabric Can INspire a New Quilt Block Idea

Collage
Studio Owl Collage Quilt Block
This design is a collage (a bit like the previous kolidascope technique) that was created using my tatted owl design (reminded me of the tatting my grandmother used to do - she made beautiful doilies), and the paint & brushes design. Together they were one of my first logos for the Studio. String Art Design - Framed Tile Box
