Enchanted Quilting Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 About six months ago, our guild had us draw packets for our paint chip challenge. I drew yellow, orchid and a dark jade green (one of the pix has the samples on it). The theme was In the Garden. I used templates from Judi Madsen's book to do the dragonfly, butterfly and flowers. I used a double batt, QD Wool and Hobbs, 80/20. I used So Fine to do the detail work in the yellow. I am happy to say this isn't due until June 12th (which means I will be binding it late on the 11th).

K. Szymaszek Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 I absolutely love this. Your quilting is perfect. I especially like the diamond treatment around each block, it really pops. I especially like it all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeidiP Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 Stunning quilting! If you don't mind me asking, did you draw the dragon fly or freehand it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathyh Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 Charlotte, what a beautiful job you did for your challenge! I was just looking at Judi's book today ( while straightening my quilting room and converting my sewing room into a guest bedroom!) and wishing I was done with the quilt on my machine so I could play a little with her designs. Your rendition of her designs is really beautiful! And I love the sashing design. Thanks so much for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enchanted Quilting Posted May 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 Charlotte, what a beautiful job you did for your challenge!

Your rendition of her designs is really beautiful! And I love the sashing design. Thanks so much for sharing. In Judi Madsen's book, Quilting Wide Open Spaces, she has a quilt with the dragonfly, butterfly and flowers on it. The book includes a CD with full sized templates on it. I marked the squares using a light box using a blue marker. That was for the figures...the background I freehanded. After I was done I submerged the runner to remove the blue marks. The whole book has some excellent ideas...they are detailed and intense, but very striking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonnie H Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 Mmmmmm, I'm loving the colors. And the quilting is amazing! Please let us know how you do in the placement arena! Our guild did a challenge and it was so restrictive. Whatever your three paint chip colors were had to be EXACTLY and I do mean EXACTLY the same color in fabric. Plus you could pick one other color. For me, it would have been more fun to be able to include the colors like you did. I ended up not participating, mostly because I couldn't find fabric that matched exactly.

KathyG_Quilts Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 Several years ago my guild had a different version of a paint chip challenge. We had to use paint colors that started with our initials. That was fun. I was forced to use colors I am not in the habit of using because of my initials!
