Few weeks ago, I had just completed a project for publication. And I had yet to begin my Funky Friends Toy. This in-between-projects time when I was particularly vulnerable, I came across the Pantone Quilt Challenge Announcement and I fell for it. HARD.
Paul: How hard?
Me: So hard that I have an entry in EVERY category.
Me: So hard that I have an entry in EVERY category.
One thing was certain. I was NOT going to buy any fabric for the challenge. I would only use my stash. It turns out I had plenty of peachy goodness, in the entire spectrum of values, in yardage, precuts and scraps.

I got to work or I started to play :-D

| Peachy all the way |
I cut squares and rectangles and made blocks. I arranged and rearranged.

I took a walk and saw peachy goodness everywhere.

I checked my email and saw peachy yumminess.

I went shopping and was surrounded by peachy vibes.

I woke up peachy. I ate peachy. I slept peachy and even dreamt in peachy hues.

| My Salmon is Peachy :-D |
 |
| Peachful Dreams |
As I came close to completing the top, I thought about a suitable name. I should call it "A Peachful Demonstration", I reasoned. It had so many peachy fabrics.
But once I took the pictures, I decided against it.

I am going with "Blush". What do you think?
Finally, my favorite picture!

| She is peachy, alright!!! |
Blush measures 60" square.
I am entering Blush in the "Just the Top" category.

Love the gradient and the circular but irregular feel of the "blobb". Maybe a bit inspired by some peachy blooms? Fun overall design from a simple block. A skill you seem to have mastered. xo
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Love the gradient.
