Challenge Quilt 2011.....Part 2


6 weeks ago I began my challenge quilt...


This Memory Album was my inspiration:


I just love this color story...




I decided to do some sun printing ...

I think I matched the colors fairly well to the album




Here it is 6 weeks later and I am finally
getting back to the prints:


I used scraps of white fabric to print on,
so they are all odd ball sizes...



I decided to pull out some of my surface design
fabrics I have created the last couple of years...


Maybe some of these will find their way into
the challenge quilt?



I started to trim the odd ball sun prints:


Trimmings...





This is where I am now...
The blocks don't fit into rows because they are
odd ball sizes.
I think with some partial seams this will work.



This is a gorgeous fabric I purchased from


It is just begging to be included in this quilt...



Here are a few of my hand dyes pinned on the wall:


Vicki's hand dye is on the left...

This challenge has a big REVEAL
on December 12, 2011

I can't show you much more at this point
sorry...

I will show you bits and pieces here and there
as I finish this.....stay tuned.

  1. It is going to be lovely. I too am working on a challenge and really want to blog about it but haven't because it is supposed to stay a secret and boy is that hard when I want to share it with my friends and blog readers.
