April Challenge

Ok ladies.
Who's up for a challenge?

Do you think you can create a block that captures the essence of this artwork? Spend some time on the website. There are certain menu options that have pictures and others that just have the sayings so you'll have to surf around a bit. The best place to go is to "prints" and just keep hitting the orange "next" at the top of the page.

I love this art and have several pieces of it. I want to create a quilt top with this same feel and redo the room where this art is over the summer.

Now, if you are intimidated by this, please let me know and I can choose another block and fabric to send. I'll go with majority rule here.

I will only be asking for one block anywhere from 10" to 15". I will send out lots of colorful Kona solids to everyone. I'm think anything goes here; applique, machine stitching, straight lines, curves, embroidery even embellishments.

My plan was to have a sample and a few tutorial pics to post, however a nice weekend and life in general got in the way.

Can't wait to hear what you think about this.

Thanks, Tracy

I am up for a try!! If you do have some ideas of what you would like it to look like (like the tutorials you mentioned) that would be great! But I am excited!

Fun! I've just done a couple applique pieces (the Flikr gnome homes inspired me!) but I'd love a challenge. AND a photo of the quilt when its finished!
