1. Limited Edition Choose an analogous colour scheme of two or three colours. You can also use shades (darker colours, moving towards the centre of the wheel) and tints (paler colours moving towards the tips of the colour points) of the colours you have chosen. You may also use one neutral colour (white, black, grey, cream). Your quilt must be A3 size i. e. 11.7" x 16.5" (297mm x 420mm). The edges need not be bound – be creative!This is one of the challenges for our quilt club's biennial show which will be in April next year. I haven't felt like working on any of the larger quilts I have started (and should finish very soon) so I started thinking about this challenge. Here is what I've done over my last two afternoons in the sewing room. Do you like it? The orange around the edge is not part of the quilt, its the table its lying on.
And here is the photo that Terry took in Anne's garden in Canada and that I worked from.

I really like it - so bright and cheerful and the greens in the background work so well together.
I think this one is lovely and I could see another one being done with either different colour flowers or background for 2 of our table mats for dinner each night. We must discuss this idea further.
Funny you should say that Jennifer. Before we left this morning I printed out some photos with blue flowers and green backgrounds. Terry asked why and I told him I had enjoyed making that little quilt so much I was going to make another in green/blue and perhaps even a yellow/orange one as well...
Oooh. I think it's lovely!
I haven't started even ONE of the challenges and this looks like a winner. Shall I concede defeat now?
thanks ege! and no, Helen, don't concede defeat! what if the judge isn't into messy, free motion stitching and raw edge appliqué? or green and yellow come to that...
No, I won't concede defeat, yet, but I have to GET STARTED on something, anything . . .
