New Quilt in the Works...
I belong to the Chicago Quilters Guild, and they are going to be sponsoring a Quilt Show in May. They have asked all the members of the guild to try and at least display a quilt of their own. I have not made many quilts, and honestly don't have any here that are quilt show worthy, so I set out on a task to make a new quilt especially for the show! I told my husband about what I wanted to do, and I have some fabrics picked out that I think I would like to use. And well he comes back to me and says, "I know the perfect quilt you can make with those fabrics!". I said cool, what do you have in mind? He said, "Applique" something! LOL... Well, he went to work, and started sketching out a quilt and we went back and forth on emails, and finally decided on a picture he found on the net. Now, I don't know how to go about using that picture, I know that copyrights are all over the place, so I'm going to try and do something similar! Here is what he chose:
I know this is not going to be an easy task, and I only have 2 months to do this. So, tomorrow I will go shopping for some additional fabrics in hopes that I can create something equally beautiful!
