Cambridge Modern Quilt Guild Challenge

I am a member of the Cambridge Modern Quilt Guild.  At our most recent meeting we were each instructed to bring a fat quarter of red, orange, yellow, blue, green, and purple fabric.  We created piles of each of the colors of fabric…

…and then through a complicated series of swaps, we each ended up with a pile of 6 fabrics — but not all of the colors.  This was the pile I ended up with:

Myfabric-wm
I used my ScanNCut to help me cut out a bunch of shapes for raw edge applique and put this little baby quilt together from start-to-finish (including quilting and binding) in less than a day!

If I had it to do over, I probably would have taken a little more time to fiddle with the design, but you know what they say: done is better than perfect!  (PS: I've got a blog post coming your way about those 4 green faces in the background of this photo.)

Thanks for stopping by!

  • I actually like the spontaneity of the design. Were any of your final fabrics from the original fat quarters that you contributed?
