Guild Challenge Completed!

My 3rd finish for 2014 is the 2 crayon/color guild challenge..."solid" fabrics colored with Crayolas on white Kona, shapes cut and pieced without a plan, and each shape machine quilted differently.  The finished size is 10"x12".  I really like the way it turned out!

Challenge Mini-Quilt

One of my guild's is doing a 2-crayon challenge.  You must use the randomly selected crayons and can use any other colors as well.  I reached into the bag and pulled out "periwinkle" and "robin's egg blue".  I spent the afternoon and evening coloring my fabric with crayons in periwinkle, robin's egg, carnation pink, dandelion, and yellow green.  I paired the colored fabric with a bright print from my stash.  I think the resulting 10x12 mini-quilt top turned out nicely!  Now to sandwich, quilt, and bind it.

Hooray for March!

February wasn't awesome...an upper respiratory infection that lasted 3 weeks, a failed half-marathon thanks to horrible blisters, "stuff" at work, and just a total lack of creativity.  The first week of March has been much better!  A friend and I went to Melbourne, FL, yesterday for the Seaside Piecemakers Quilt Show.   It was a super show with lots of quality in and variety of quilts.  Thanks to everyone who made the show possible!
