A Shamrock, a clover -- they are not as complicated as a tree. But if you want to do a tree, search for tree coloring pages and you come up with a page like this: http://www.coloring.ws/trees.htm . You can print out the tree you like and work out a pattern from there. I can't draw so I rely on the coloring pages a lot.

I am really finding it difficult to come up with anything so thought I would ask you all. Thank you so much for any ideas you may have.
) Have fun with the challenge and let us know what you decide.

Many great ideas here. I'd recommend going off the beaten path a little. If you're comfortable with applique, maybe do something Hawaiian. If you like paper piecing, choose one of the patterns out there, possible a geometric.

When I think of a "Challenge Quilt," the finished project and interpretation is up to the participant. They can use applique, piecing, embroidery, embellishments or whatever they want.
Here are a couple challenges that I've participated in...
We were given a bag with 2 coordinating fabrics and challenged to use the two fabrics, and at least 24 4-patches.
Everyone got a magazine (wide variety), and someone drew out a page number. And we had to make a quilt representing that page in the book. Some pages just had words, while others had pictures.
We were given a choice of fine art masterpieces, and challenged to make a quilt that represented that art piece.
You could just have the participants create a green quilt. Do you remember making color poetry in school? Have them show what green means to them. example:
"Yellow's the color of a new baby chick.
A spark that flies as the switch goes click.
The big, bright sun And the feeling inside.
The ripening of grain on the country side."
