If you know me at all, you know I did not do it in those colors! I decided to add green and use it for my Challenge. Actually it was more like Green and White with a little bit of Black Challenge!
I had all the components made and and organized waaaaay back in November, but I didn't get it out again until I got to the retreat on the first day. I sewed like a fiend and finished the top (except for the last border) about 15 minutes before the reveal. I could not have cut it any closer than that!
This was a popular challenge. There were 23 entries! I couldn't name a favorite (mainly because a lot the gals read my blog!) but Jan's was very cool.
Debra made some beautiful placemats and a table runner.
I really like the pattern Debbie used.
Faye's was Black and White with Red on one side......
.....and White and Black with Green on the other side!
Shirley made a back pack without a pattern!
And leave it to Eve to use orange!!
One afternoon we held all the challenge quilts over the balcony at the Retreat Center to take photos and it was quite a sight.
I don't want to give anyone quilt overload (like THAT'S possible!!) Next time I'll tell you about our Garden Party.

LOVE the Black & White! It would be hard to choose one favorite. Expecting to see YOU in a Garden Party hat in the next entry... :o)
That brings back such great memories!!!
WOW! There were really some great looking black/white + quilts. I can see how it would be hard to pick a favorite. Great participation too along with the variety of patterns. Your ladies are very talented. Can't wait to see what the Garden Party brings.
