The Crazy quilt

Today I've set myself the goal of doing an hour a day on this quilt, as I want it finished by March 2012.  I've decided not to exhibit it at our local group show next weekend.  As part of my $30 a day for 30 days process I had a small find......this is a book I bought for $2 at a community market today.....

This is how I used it .  The flowers took an hour to do.....but then learning anything new takes time!

Ballarat Icon Challange

The current project is for my local patchwork group. I drew from the lucky envelope the theme Miner's cottage, and decided to use crazy patchwork as the medium to interpret this for my Icon quilt. How naive I was! I had no idea where it was going to take me!
After reading and researching, buying and a class with Judith Baker Montanno at Houston festival last November, I finally started

I like to challenge myself, so I chose to use jewel bright colours. Then I started to embellish.
The first unveiling is this Saturday. More later. love Karen
