Finally I can show the two quilts I made for our guilds Mystery and Challenge this year. We had our meeting tonight and showed what we made and now I can show them here. My challenge didn't win anything but there was some stiff competition.
This was my challenge quilt. I had to use 13 half-square triangles. I made up this design myself. One of the ladies at guild called it a Charlie Brown Tree because the top is tipped. :) I'm okay with that. I used a lot of gold buttons to hide the areas where the cathedral window pieces meet (or don't meet).
Here's the mystery quilt. When I finished the top I realized that there was no pink on the inside and the border fabric had a lot of pink so if you look at the close up of the machine quilting, I quilted with pink and green thread on the white (scary) and then it still wasn't enough so I did some dimensional roses for the centers.
Thanks for looking. I'm pooped. I was still awake at 3 am last night (this morning) and I have to get up at 6:15 so I'm running on empty.

I loved your Challenge, one of the one's I voted for! Hope you get some sleep this weekend :)
ReplyDeleteI loved your challenge quilt I wish that I had, had some more time to oogle over it but was busy doing BOM stuff. Would love to see your pattern if you wrote one.. Smiles
ReplyDeleteYour mystery quilt was the best one in my opinion...excellent color choices and intriguing details made it a stand out. Hope I can get a closer look one of these days.
