A quilt challenge!
 
1 Attachment(s)
We have a challenge every year at our quilt retreat in the fall. The challenge this year was to make something from a strip set. It could be anything from a place-mat to a quilt but had to be completely finished. This will be my entry!

I really like this! It's simple, yet each block holds it's own attraction. Very nicely done!

That is fabulous! Did you make that pattern up? I love it! And you're done so far in advance! You got it all wrapped up! Good job!

rootyr 07-15-2012 01:56 AM

TY. I did have a pattern. I do not work well under pressure so I get my projects done early.

rootyr 07-15-2012 01:58 AM

I am not sure if you can tell but I did the first 12 blocks to go with each month-either the color or the theme, for example, snowflakes for Jan, red strips for Feb etc. After the 12 months I stayed with a theme such as, fruits and veggies, patriotic etc.

cairns 07-15-2012 03:00 AM

I love it. Looks like it went together fast.

That turned out great AND if you have any blocks left, they look to be about the size of place mats ... LOVE it! Giving me a great idea for making some scrappy strip place mats.

Thanks for sharing.

Love how you made a snowball strip block! Very different looking! Great job !

kateyb 07-15-2012 04:37 AM

This is very pretty. It has a striking simplicity to it. I think I will use this idea to use up some of my scraps. Thanks for sharing.

That would be a great pattern for all those excess binding strips. The quilt looks great.
