Thumbs up April Art Quilt Challenge

Hooray for your enthusiast response to eagerly pursue art quilting. This thread is for all levels of interest and experience. We are here to learn from and inspire each other through our experiments, successes and yes, even the projects that didn't quite fulfill our expectations. A month passes quickly - only 30 days in this one. Since no one has made a theme challenge suggestion I have come up with this idea:

1. This is a three color challenge - Black, White and One Color of your choice.
2. No rules on size, materials or subject (just keep it internet appropriate).
3. Quilt Top, Backing and Batting with hand or machine stitching to qualify as a quilt.
4. Finish the edge by hand or machine, binding or not, any shape is acceptable.
5. Post a photograph with a short description of your piece. Anything you want to share with us.

Most of all, have fun! I'm hoping we have at least a dozen submissions this month. I am heading to my studio right now to pull fabrics. Since there are seven colors in the rainbow I'd like to make a quilt for each color and force myself to try a different technique in each one. The challenge is on folks!!
