What a disappointment! There was no particular theme, but participants were supposed to use a recognizable amount of the fat quarter they were given in a 24" x 24" quilt. The fabric this year was Patrick Lose's Mixmaster Satinesque Stripe. Different colors were provided, so the fabric doesn't look identical in each quilt.

We could choose to use the blue, yellow, green or brown version of the fabric, which we purchased from our guild. We needed to use a "recognizable portion" of the fabric. <br />I'm fairly new to modern quilting and not a big fan of solid fabrics. I can't see that would had "worked" if I had used all solids fabrics. I pieced this at a Jacquie Gering workshop last Feb. I didn't have the challenge fabric then, so I took out one of the fabrics and replaced it with the challenge fabric. I also used the fabric in a piece of the binding in the upper left side. I was delighted to have won 3rd place, as there was tough competition among the 11 entries.

I'm stuck at home with two sick dogs and had to miss the Northwestern Quilt Expo in Portland, my yearly treat, so my virtual trip to ABQ is a treat. <br /><br />In your next post, would you tell us the theme of the NMQA challenge?Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11786511163919657885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8316079433124165960.post-65156242048133082652014-09-25T22:16:42.059-06:002014-09-25T22:16:42.059-06:00My success can be attributed to sending the kids o...My success can be attributed to sending the kids off to the petting zoo with Dad and the grandparents.Afton Warrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08267299238188424983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8316079433124165960.post-55616806712454775612014-09-25T22:06:34.089-06:002014-09-25T22:06:34.089-06:00haha @ naughty word.

One of these days I will take a break from working on your quilt and type up a post on the fair...though I did not take nearly as many photos of other people's quilts. Looking at quilts with the kids in tow is impossible.Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11843675387693755387noreply@blogger.com
