Camo Quilt Request

DS asked me today if I could make him a camo quilt. When he was in elementary school his room was a camo theme. He since has redecorated, but guess he still likes camo. I have some black, dark green and brown fabric in the stash. He has some too small camo pants I will incorporate into his quilt. His birthday is in a few months, so I have plenty of time to make the quilt.

Fabric for Challenge Found

Picked the fabric for the Challenge Quilt. Now I am excited to get the cutting started. Did not get to quilt until this afternoon as I had family visiting for the National Western Stock Show.

We attended the rodeo, watched some Hereford judging, looked at stock in the stock yards and looked at the new farm and ranch items on the market. It was so nice to visit with the family and enjoyed seeing the best animals in the USA.

Challenge Quilt update

Went to the quilt store this morning, but did not have much luck with the sea green fabric. Will try another one tomorrow and hope for better results. I did find on pieced of fabric in my stash. So still need to find 6 or 7 more. I will not let this challenge get the best of me

Sea Green Challenge

I hope to get to the quilt shop later today so decided to make a color card so I could try to match fabrics to the challenge color. I will go through my stash of greens to see if I have anything I can use. I am thinking about using 7 or 8 different fabrics. I know in my stash I have some off white bubble fabric I will use for sashing and borders. Will need to find a nice backing fabric as well. Binding will a mixture of all the sea greens I used on the top. Have a plan now. Just need to find the sea green fabrics!

Crayon Challenge

At my guild meeting our challenge is to make a quilted object using a crayon color for inspiration. From the 64 pack of crayons I drew the color "sea green". I will need to find a way to incorporate this color predominately in my quit and display my quilt along with the crayon to be judged. This will be a challenge for me as I am not a fan of green. I will need to take a walk through the greens at the quilt shop and hopefully get some ideas.

I do like this quilt. I was thinking of doing it in blues. But, may try making it in the sea green hues instead.

Quilt Guild today

I will dedicate my quilting time today to attend my quilt guild. The talk today will be on scrap quilting. I have been working on a string quilt so hope to get some ideas about that today. Will share anything interesting I learn.

Christmas Tree Wall Hanging

Will be working on a small wall hanging with squares and half square triangles. This will be a variety of greens and tans. Will cut all the squares from my scrap basket. This is a recycle project.
