Here we go again! Another mini quilt created for a Curated Quilts challenge. This was for the Black & White issue and was my first selection to the mini quilt gallery!
In August of 2018 I went back to school for Master of Health Administration at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. My department was located in Hampton House on the East Baltimore campus. The 9th floor of Hampton House had a nice study room with a long row of windows that looked out over the street below and the Johns Hopkins Hospital, including the infamous dome.
There is a building directly across the street with an interesting brick detail consisting of offset straight lines, as seen in the photo below. Except there is ONE in the third row that isn’t quite straight. It drives me nuts and my eyes gravitate toward it every time. I always wonder, did they install it incorrectly or has it moved over time as the building has aged? I may never know!
These straight lines were the inspiration for my black and white mini challenge quilt. I recreated the lines, including the crooked one! Much to my delight it was selected to be included in the mini quilt gallery!
