I enjoy challenges proposed by quilt guilds and friends. I recently entered one in a guild challenge and today finished one for our show challenge in June. (www.sevensistersquiltshow.org)
For the guild challenge we were given pieces of the Pantone and Kona colors of the year. Each had to be used together in a quilt. There was no size restriction and we could add any other fabrics. I'm pleased to say my entry was selected Viewer's Choice.
I gave myself two additional challenges: use the Quick Curve Ruler and the coordinating quilting ruler. This is the second quilt I've made from "Mini Wonderful Curves".

Our regional quilt show, Seven Sisters Quilt Show, will be June 29 & 30, in San Luis Obispo, CA.
The quilt below is for our challenge "A Touch of Red". The perimeter of the quilt could not exceed 80 inches. I designed the Hawaiian style applique block then converted it using software and cut it on my Silhouette Cameo. It didn't cut perfect, but it was much better than my hand cutting. I fused the red, button-hole stitched around all the edges, then echo quilted.

Thanks for checking in.
Both came out wonderful. You can also use the Kona challenge for the Material Girls challenge for curves too! Another two-fer. I do love the red and white quilt too!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilts! Your machine applique is amazing! Great job on the "twofer" quilt :)
