(FCH003) Alpha

After creating an alphabet quilt with my quilting bee two years ago, I have wanted to revisit the theme on my own. I was curious to see if I could evoke each letter using only square and quarter circle blocks on a 4x4 grid. While it didn't work for every letter (darn H and T), I was pleased with the overall effect. The letters are not always immediately apparent on first viewing, and I have enjoyed seeing a flash of recognition from friends when the letters suddenly jump out at them. I now have several other ideas for alphabet quilts and hope this will be the first in an enjoyable series.
