2008 Quilt Challenge
 

COLOR MY WORLD
 

I love color. Bright, bold and vibrant colors make me so happy. My challenge to you is to “Color my World.” Perhaps you have wanted to work with a color or combination of colors outside of your usual realm. Or you have a bundle of lush fabrics just sitting on a shelf screaming have fun. Now is your chance to get them out and play with them.

 

I have always loved giving more than receiving. So this part of the challenge is fun for me. I am giving you the pattern. You already have it. In the past year you have bought a pattern, book or magazine and said to yourself “one day when I get around to it” I would like to make this quilt. Well, here is your chance. Dig out your pattern. Pick up some colorful and fun fabrics and make a wonderful quilt for this year’s challenge. I would like for you to keep this quilt small and simple to help you get the quilt finished and to allow the color to be the star.
