Finally Finished! My Color Challenge Quilt

Throughout the summer, I participated in the Color Challenge over at 15 Minutes Play. Each week, Victoria would choose a different challenging color, and everyone would "make" fabric using scraps of that color and whatever other colors they chose to go with it. Such a fun way to play with color! You can read about each of my blocks and color choices starting here.

I assembled the blocks, added two borders (one pieced out of made fabric), and finished quilting it just this past weekend--perfect timing for the Blogger's Quilt Festival at Amy's Creative Side, as well as linking up to Confessions of a Fabric Addict's Friday Can I get a whoop whoop and Quilt Story's Fabric Tuesday!

Here's a flat shot, as well as a not-so-straight flat shot, but the colors showed up so vibrantly that I wanted to show it anyway.



I did both straight and wavy-lined machine quilting on different sections of the quilt, as you can see in the close-ups. I like that the straight line areas in the khaki create subtle texture without distracting from the pieced "ribbons."



p.s. This quilt is one of the five semi-finalists in the Blogger's Quilt Festival scrap category! Click here to read more and to help make blocks for quilts for Sandy victims.
