February -- Y2K quilt The challenge for February was to make a quilt layout for the year 2000. You could design a quilt with 2000 pieces. You could collect blocks with names that are significant to this event, in your opinion. You could design something original. Something funky maybe. Futuristic. Whatever.
You could do something that has nothing obvious to do with the millennium

MM=2000 2000 half-square triangles made up of scrapbag pieces. Each block is 50 pieces, and there are 40 blocks in the quilt. MM in Roman numerals means 2000. BarbV Illinois |

This quilt will be made for the 1999 Quiltfest in Boerne, Texas. It will be a signature/raffle quilt. The snowball blocks & the white in the rails will be for signatures. You must pay $1.00 to sign name on quilt and the names will be kept until the first Saturday in May, 2000, when the winner of the quilt will be drawn.

Each block has 25 pieces. 80 blocks x 25 pieces = 2,000 pieces in quilt.

I think the y2k brouhaha is much ado about nothing. Life will
pretty much be the same as in the previous millennia. My quilt depicts fire, earth and some of earth's creatures, surrounded by water and air, which I predict to be as much of our future as they are of the past. 2,000 pieces in quilt.

Quilt contains 2,000 charms. The lighter squares in the 9-patch blocks are for signature squares that I've collected from y2k swappers all over the world.

I'm just about sick of millennium quilts, but the M&M's were cute,
so I decided to try. Since Barb Vlack used the M's, I decided to use four
500s (D's) instead. I didn't count the pieces in mine, so that has no
significance. I looked through Blockbase for a block, and couldn't resist
the one called Footprints through the sands of Time.

My design has 10 x 10 blocks of 20 pieces each, making 2000 pieces!
The movement in the design and the rainbow colours stand for the turmoil the world is in today and for the commotion about the millennium-problem.

I work with computers all day and have to deal with the Y2K problem on
a regular basis. I have had it up to here with Y2K and am retiring to my
log cabin (fictional) until it is all over. It is an orderly area and the
around it is also orderly and restful. The further you get away from it,
the more chaotic things become. But it's OK because I am going to be as far
away from the chaos as possible.

This quilt is for the year 2000, to commemorate my 60th birthday (hence,
60 Blazing Star candles), the Olympic Games being held in my home city and the MillenniumBug, which I hope will not cause me any difficulties.

This quilt was planned to help use up all those small scraps I seem to
collect. Never thought about a Y2K quilt & using 2,000 pieces until it
was mentioned on a quilt list. I did find out from designing this in
EQ that having a strong connecting line throughout the quilt would give it
some definition. Otherwise, it would be a jumbled mess.

I used a traditional block "World Without End" as my theme block. I had
to revamp some of the words I had first used, as I later recognized it in
part of someone's signature and was unable to contact her to get permission
to use similar wording.

Hope to complete this king-sized quilt by New Year's Eve. The block is a variation of Going to Chicago. I'm exclusively using scraps - from previous quilting projects as well as clothing and home decorative items (curtains, placemats, pillows, etc.) that I've made in the past. Set in various orientations, the overall design is intended to resemble computer circuitry boards, the Y2K culprits :-) I designed the border fabric in EQ to mimic one I've created in reality - it's dyed, overdyed, discharged, and stamped; the background reads as navy blue, and "2000" appears in multiple hues in the gold family- with some small scattered stars.
