It's a Challenge...

I recently accepted a challenge from the President of the
Longarm/Machine Quilters Guild that I am a member of.
This guild is a group of Quilters from the Metro St Louis area.  

Suzie Haas, our president, designed two quilts
for us to showcase modern quilting.  

I knew that this would stretch me in an area that I am slowly getting in to.  

There was a pieced pattern and one with some applique.
I chose the pieced chevron.  

We displayed all of the challenge quilts at
MQX Midwest in Springfield, IL last month.  

The requirements were, 40 X 40, 3 colors for the top
and two colors for the binding,

that was mitered on the corners where the colors met.

It was a lot of fun and very interesting to see how others quilted their quilts.

Here's my finished quilt.

I need to step out of my comfort zone more often. 

 It really was a lot of fun and helped me to think outside the box.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!
