Both of these will be given to Firehouse Quilts once they are finished. The challenge quilt was made of their fabrics, from a huge fabric donation in April. I didn't have fabrics in my stash for the challenge, so it was handy they were available at the meeting.
The border fabric resembles fireworks, but not exactly! Each motif center is b/w/r ovals, and many curving lines erupt from there, each ending with a dot. That makes them look somewhat botanical, but not exactly! I do recall it is a Kaufman fabric, but didn't notice a date on it.
