Recently my guild, McKinney Modern Quilt Guild, issued a mini quilt challenge. The prompt was "Inspiration". After thinking about it a bit, I knew exactly what my inspiration for this mini would be!
A few years ago hubby and I had our master bath remodeled. One of my favorite parts of the new bath is the tile we chose for a decorative column in our shower. This tile runs in a ventricle strip from the floor to the ceiling. As soon as I saw it I thought "this needs to be a quilt".
Now was the time to make this happen! I really wanted a hand stitching project to take along on my trip to quilt con and English Paper Piecing seemed to be the perfect way to make this design happen. The only problem was, I didn't have the EPP pieces I needed and my trip was just a couple days away! So I pulled out a piece of cardstock and started drawing!
I chose 3 shades of aqua solid from my stash (the bathroom is silver gray/white and I use aqua accents.)
Simple grid quilting (after I got home) and big stitch hand binding were the perfect finish for my mini.
What a fun challenge!
