Six fat-eighths of Michael Miller fabrics arrived in March for the newest Modern Quilt Guild challenge.
I have until July 25 so I wasn't immediately concerned with how the quilt would look. Time has gone by and still the collection wasn't inspiring me.
Then, a house was bought, sold, and remodeled and the light went on.
The moment I saw this door it screamed QUILT.
Finding just the right turquoise and gray to coordinate with the prints took a little effort. Computer screens don't quite match real life. Luckily I had only one misfire before I found one that would do the job.
Today, I sketched out the front and I'm ready to start. This is perfect timing because it will involve handwork that I can do while I'm visiting in Nashville.
And, since the front of the quilt is a door; the back is going to be windows. A perfect use of all the leftover fabrics.
Let the challenge begin!
Oh oh oh can't wait!
