Here's a snap of my Challenge quilt just completed yesterday and judged at today's Guild Meeting. It won a minor prize of "Encouragement Award".

as well I got tired of it yesterday and dragged my creative feeta little (coupled with my SM mal-functioning) - otherwise it wouldhave been better and I wouldn't have won the category LoL.Think I shall turn it into a cushion front for my studio.Cheers Bronnie


I think it's fabulous! I love how bold and bright the whole piece is, and very much your own design. It's original and I'd love to hang it on any of my walls.

With your introduction, I was expecting something ho-hum. Bronnie, that is wonderful. Makes me smile. Makes me stop and study all manner of beauty such as the fabrics you used and where you placed them and how you cut them and, and, and...! Just delightful. I'm with Sunny. I'd love to hang it on any of my walls too. Polly

Nice quilt! (did you like that applique technique?) Allison

I like this, a lot! COngratulations.

That's is wonderful! It's sort of . . . whimsical -- combining vivid colors with elegant design. Your combining of fabric patterns and composition is so expert.

Yes Allison, Vikki's technique is worth understanding and considering for some art quilt design - this was a 'challenge' with the 15x15in restriction. Two of the flowers that run off the edge are 'proud' of the background. I am currently working on a very large piece - 75 inch sq - using her method (for which the background fabric of this one was purchased [Timeless Treasures Tonga batik, Hancocks of P]). Bron

I like it, Bronnie! It's really cheerful! :)

It looks pretty okay from where I sit, but I'd like to see it in person in my own home before I make any comments, critiques, etc. positive or not... do you have my address?

Mickie (Yes!) ;o)

Bronnie,

I don't see a thing wrong with it! It's adorable. So cheery. :-)

I love it! What does "encouragement award" mean exactly? I'm definitely encouraged to get the book and try the technique! Lobo ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Delete the obvious to reply to me personally. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
