AHuffman Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 My internet quilt guild has a challenge each year at our annual retreat. Last summer the challenge was to make a quilt top using the colors from a candy bar wrapper. My friend Sandy chose a Pay Day wrapper and asked me to quilt it for her. I actually gave it back to her unquilted because I had no idea at all how to quilt it. It was intimidating! You can see more about it over on her blog. Finally I decided to import a photo into my computer and doodle on it to get some ideas flowing. Since I knew she wanted us to enter it in some competitions, everything is freehand. It was accepted in the Hampton VA show next weekend and we are hoping to hear from Paducah soon. Cross your fingers for us! I used a layer of Hobbs wool and Hobbs 80/20 with Bottom Line thread, Sew Fine and a little Glide. I'm pleased with the result and you may recognize the Berries and Banana's filler in one section which I did a video tutorial for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is beautifully pieced (great design) and your quilting just makes this quilt pop. Can't wait to hear the results from the show and what Paducah has to say!
