2010 Challenge fabrics

Thank you Susan, I'm glad you like my piece.

I didn't start out just using a touch of this month's color choice. I had actually cut it up into three large leaves and I was going to overlay a large yellow tulip over the quilted background. It wasn't working for me and I had to come up with plan b. I had next to nothing left of the green, so I wrapped it to make a green branch.

I have had to go to a plan b for each one of these challenge pieces. My goal is to use the napkins in different ways each month and challenge myself to play with new techniques. For this piece, I used the middle layer of the napkins which were really muted colors of the top layer. I really liked the way this came out too. It is a happy piece, but so very different from the other two I have done.

I was really excited that I finished it before the end of the month! Today I started working on a broken star that I had started 20 years ago. I needed to work on something where I don't have to create it from scratch out of my head. The challenge pieces are hard work!
