Wow, it's the end of July already. I wasn't going to participate in this month's colour challenge, because I had enough on my plate. Camp Loopy (project 2 done, project 3 started). New long arm machine (4 quilts done, 1 more practice quilt loaded). Plenty of Block of the Month to keep me busy. But one day last week I decided to see what I could pull from my stash for the challenge this month, and I came up with these fabrics. Then, I figured I'd make an easy, small quilt. It would after all be nice to hit the end of the year able to say I'd done every colour challenge.
So I designed a quilt, and cut all my pieces. Put it together, and the "small" quilt was 50" across! Well, at that point, I decided I might as well make it a full twin size quilt. So here is the current progress of my "small" colour challenge this month. A few border strips to sew, and I should be able to call it done, before the end of the month tomorrow. The colours are a bit brighter in person - it was pretty dark when I took this photo.
Hop over to Patchwork Times to see more design walls today.
WOW! Your "small" quilt is amazing.
