Project Quilting 2011

As much as I love to sew and quilt,

I will never apply to be on "Project Runway".

I truly have NO desire to be on TV whatsoever.

However, I love, love, love "Project Quilting"!
It is the brainchild of Kim's Crafty Apple.

Each week we have a new challenge

(oh, and we all know how I love a crafty challenge!)

If you have any interest in quilting at all,

I heartily encourage you to join.

It will be a great way to move you to quilt each week.

You'll start to truly "think outside the square".

For this challenge we were limited to the 3 primary colors,

each one had to be at least 6" square, and cut in no more than 4 pieces.

I was stuck on the idea that the primary colors are the "code" for all colors.

That got me thinking to color recipes.

I quilted with the idea that this was a code or recipe

for a certain final color; that each applique was a value.

I free motioned only in the white area as

I wanted the color values to be uncomplicated by topstitching.

Final size 9" x 20.5"

I love it so much that I'm going to make

another one in the colors of our bedroom.

And I'm strongly thinking of making this

into a mini quilt pattern for

A Quiet Stitch.

It will take you about the time of 1 nap

(isn't that a great measurement for a SAHM?)

It's not intimidating and very rewarding!
