Fussy Flowers

 Created for Project Quilting 12.2 - Fussy Cut challenge.

Fussy cut is so not my thing. I guess that's why you do a challenge. To inspire you to do something that you wouldn't otherwise. 

I searched my stash to find anything that was worthy of fussy cutting. Not much. Then, at the bottom of a pile I found a small piece left from some Spoonflower fabric that my daughter-in-law, Kim, had given to me a few years ago.  It was made by manipulating a picture of one of my quilts. 

There were pictures of a shredded flower, so I fussy cut them, then made string pieced triangles to fill in the background.

Illuminated Argyle

 Created for the Project Quilting 12.1 – Illuminating + Ultimate Gray challenge.

Illuminating and Ultimate Gray.  So not my thing. That's only 2 colors and one of them is gray, which is not really a color at all! 

The next day as I passed through my living room, I saw the Argyle Answer hanging on the wall. Hmmmm. I made this one for the PQ9.2 Triangulation challenge.

This could work. So I went looking for grays.  In spite of them not being my thing, but I did have quite a few in my collection. Lots of equilateral triangles in gray and one row of illuminating yellows giving it some life.

Quilted with randomly spaced diagonal lines in various shades of yellows and grays.
