I was able to join a small group of quilters who participate in several quilt/art challenges each year.
This was my first challenge with the group.
When I found out what this challenge was, I immediately knew this would not be easy. You would know that orange is my most challenging color to use - my orange section in my stash only consists of 4 or 5 fabrics.
For this challenge, I turned to a pattern that I've been wanting to try, Ricky Tims' Caveman Quilting, the Chantelle Tulip flower. My roots are in traditional quilting - so free cutting curves and making things uneven was a step out for me. Though the picture doesn't show it, I quilted the center of the quilt with orange thread and the borders with purple thread - thus challenging me to be bolder in my thread selection. This measures about 14x22".
I've decided I need quilts for my front door for each season (at least to start). This quilt has replaced my snowflake quilt and will remain on my front door for the spring.
