March Challenge

Marching, as a verb, calls to mind moving forward in a regular manner, usually in symmetrical lines. Hmm! sounds like a quilting session to me. (Sure enough March in the ancient calendar was often when wars were resumed as roads were again passable)

March as a month calls forth the idea of new beginnings and was/is the New Year in many a culture. The tender flowers that struggle through the snows splash the ground with yellows in the northern hemisphere promising warmth and summer.

So how about hauling out those yellows, whites and other colors you feel express hope for a future and create a regular 'marching' pattern of some kind?

Alternatively, there is the idea that many a creature, especially the hare, go bonkers as mating season has arrived and reasonable behaviour goes by the wayside. March is also associated with completely incomprehensible craziness.

SO how crazy a piece can you come up with? Boy does my imagination do some backflips on that idea............

Two opposite ends of the scale for you you attempt. Express the inner 'march/March' you are feeling this year with idea or theme,color,pattern,needle & thread.

And hey! Calling all those February pieces we haven't seen yet!
