Challenges

Here are the first two blocks for the crazy quilt I am making for the 2012 quilt challenge. I don't know if I will make it or not(only 25 will be chosen for the Houston Quilt festival) but at least I'm going to give it a try.All these fabrics are my handdyed fabrics. The center piece will have either a thread painted flower or SRE on it. I am excited I finally came up with a design. This quilt will have 9 , 17 inch blocks in it. Which choosing the color scheme I decided to use there will be all the colors in a 12 step color wheel. The name of my quilt is Crazy About Nature,,,so I am hoping all will turn out as I envision it to.



This block is the block I will be working on next year for the challenges that we have every month in my group CQInternational. Every month we are given a different challenge, so I'm looking forward to that.

Thanks Carolyn!

Hello Betty, there is only the one challenge for 2012. The single block I made up is for challenges in a yahoo group I belong to for next year.It is something we do to learn new techniques for crazy quilting.
