When challenge #2 was announced, I thought ok, I'm doing this. The prizes from #1 were impressive so I wanted to be in on it for this week's challenge and prizes!
My seasons quilt is a mini at 18" x 18". I named it "The Five Seasons." It has a section for each of the 4 seasons plus the main season in the state of Alabama - Alabama Football Season. I'm not an Alabama fan myself but Craig (my husband) is a fanatic of the team and he will be receiving this mini to hang on the wall in his computer room (office). I've shown it to him and he likes it - of course he does. He doesn't know he's getting it for Valentine's though. Multipurpose project - I like it. I started it on Monday and finished it on Thursday. It is stitched in the ditch and labeled. I also included dowel pockets on the top corners for hanging. Each season has a special block. Spring's has a bunny appliqué. Summer has fireworks drawn in crayon and heated with the iron to set (never attempted this before so I hope it remains after washing). Fall has a pumpkin appliqué. And winter has champagne glasses appliqué.
FUN!
Thanks for the inspiration!
