Challenge to use Orange, Purple and Blue

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.
