February's challenge quilt is done for the month. this was not an older project at all. i actually started it just a few weeks before the first of the year. quilted with lime green Glide on top and So Fine dark green in bobbin. it's about 70x90"
This was done by tube piecing. sew the 3 strips together into a tube and cut the blocks. i saw this on someone's blog and had to give it a try myself. i really need to quit starting new projects on a whim or i'll never get all those UFOs finished.
You get 2 blocks with each cut...mirror images. it was hard to decide on a design to set this with. i used EQ to decide.
The back was 5 different fabrics pieced to fit. these are the main 2 fabrics. they were all dark green. good for stashbusting.
I quilted around each block and across the middle seam. large Xs in the 2 smaller borders... to match the size of the blocks. and in the final border i went down the center of the fronds. sometimes just once...sometimes back and forth...depending which side i was trying to get to.
This will be a donation quilt. nothing too exciting about it....but it is rather bright.
Now to take my last few days of the month to do a few other projects so i'll be ready for March's number when Judy pulls it.
