Carol's Challenge Project
I really loved the colors in the challenge fabric and hated to cut it up. I just cut it into strips and started sewing. I ended up not being very creative.
I pulled some fabrics (oops.. had the challenge fabric wrong side out)
the first square.. then I sat and wondered, 'well now what?'
decided to make 4 of these.. thought I'd make a pillow, but in the end, I didn't want it to be a pillow. I think after Christmas I will work with it more and probably do a Gwen Marston style medallion something. I have her medallion book and have been gazing at it for inspiration. I am excited and can hardly wait 'til I have time to continue working with this! I love the soft brownish/pinkish colors!

I'm a scrap quilter at heart so your block 'speaks' to me. I was looking at it and thinking "that would be a perfect centerpiece" before I read that you were thinking the same thing...its very homey and warm and has so much movement. I love it, great job!
lOVE THE COLORS AND FABRICS YOU CHOSE! GREAT JOB!!
Wonderful! Love your string quilting.
Wow love the block. Couldn't find your easy street...same colors am mine that is neat. Hopefully we get to use the green soon.
This turned out lovely, Shelia! I made 144 - 6" square just like this, I want to put them together to make a large quilt. I'm just not sure if I want to outline each square with black or what....
Fabulous I adore quilts you are very talented! Have a Happy Holiday Season!
Smashing this!
It reminds me of a whatever its called that you look through as a child, turning it so the mirrors within jiggles different patterns?
Now I know what I mean but I dare say.........you wont lol sorry!
