A virtual border with a Double Wedding Ring arch is paired with a block designed by combining the Friendship Star and the Double Wedding Ring. Ravie font Arabic numbers were used.

I discovered that most clocks with Arabic numbers keep the numbers orientated straight up.

St. Charles, Illinois USA

A clock design such as this one does not have to be restricted to the fabric medium. I could imagine this rendered with ceramic tiles, metals, and fine wood.

I've discovered that most clocks with Roman numerals have the number 4 represented with four lines and the numerals rotate around a central pivot point. I had never paid attention to that before!

St. Charles, Illinois USA

Adelaide, South Australia

How do you measure time? The clock moves it's hands to the minute and hour. Twelve hours separates day and night. The calendar indicates the date and day of the week, which advances into months. Four seasons and a full revolution of the earth around the sun advance one year. All of these are depicted in this quilt.

Carol Baldry
A Clockwork Orange

Colored with wood grain looking fabrics. After looking at Barb's examples, I was inspired to do something elegant, yet simple.

Pea Ridge, AR

Something to help the kiddies learn to tell time, and learn the alphabet at the same time. Admittedly, if I were to make this clock (very doable), I would embroider rather than applique the smallest numbers!

Quito, Ecuador

I seem to have kids on the brain these days. Here's a nautical clock I could easily see in a child's room!

I'm Thinkin' Spring while watching the snow fly outside!!

New York

When I was young, sitting in a chair at the Beauty Shop was a treat. A clock there similar to this one fascinated me. It hung on a wall over the shampoo basin across the room from the styling chairs. Dear Mrs. -- could check the time in the mirror as she worked on someone's hair.

This shop also had a science-fiction type rig with electrical cords and clamps for setting permanent waves. When I saw Mom all hooked up in it, I cried. She sure looked pretty afterwards, though.

The font used here is Poor Richard.

Sunnyside, Washington

My friend Florence has a clock similar to the center portion of this one. For some strange reason, Bible class never proceeds in a timely fashion when it's at her home.

The real clock from which I borrowed this idea is a simple round shape. I added the stained glass borders/frame just for fun.

The font is Curlz -- a total hoot to draw!

Sunnyside, Washington

So the best part about this project is that my 6 year old daughter, Sarah, helped me. FUN!!! We wanted this to have a sort of eccentric feel (Sarah said, "funky"), like it was made by the odd old lady with a lot of cats at the end of the street. She's the kind that people gossip about but all the kids love.

Time To Get UP

Kathy Cavaness
When You Snooze You Lose

Once I had drawn one pansy I used the wreath feature to create the clock circle.

Ontario, Canada

One of my favorite clocks, perhaps because I'm a little "cuckoo" .

Ontario, Canada

This was a challenge to work with the design cookbook to get a colored block behind the rooster. I had to read and reread the instructions. I then had to save the colorwash blocks to look like morning when the sun comes up. A new day is dawning.

Fenton, MO

I found this on an AARP paper and wanted to see if I could draw it for this challenge. It was a fun project. This little lady is having a hard time getting up in the morning.

Fluer de Clock

I modified the block-Tulip from Classic Applique, Folk Art and designed the border blocks.

Sheboygan, WI

I used the wreath from EQ Libraries, Classic Applique, Wreaths, Floral Wreath from Grandma Dexter and deleted the center. The tulips from that block are the hands.

Sheboygan, WI

 

Used the Baltimore Album block Wreath of Summer flowers, modifying it to suit what I needed. Traced out the numbers and hands that I liked.
