Tide Pools - a challenge finish
A little bit of improv in my life lately! This is my finish for my guild challenge. A few months ago our new guild decided to try a challenge. We are in the process of making a guild banner and the "grunge" fabric used in the banner were thrown in a bag and we each picked two and had to make something. My color was blue green, and green blue...really pretty but together?? I thought about it for a few months. I kept thinking sea glass and water and then a friend posted an old picture of her and her husband looking at tide pools and I started piecing fabrics together. We could add in one neutral so I added in a wet sand color.
No tide pools in this city but that didn't stop me from searching out some water. :) Wavy line quilting over all helped with the watery look.
The back is all the scrappy bits leftover from the scraps I used on the front!
I really like how this came together. I love all the bits and fitting the curves in and adding splashes of color and contrast. Probably not perfect but I so loved doing it.

Lincoln Modern Quilt Guild 1st Challenge - Banner color inspiration challenge
We drew a random number for the winner out of the 7 1/2 entries we received and the winner received several prizes that related to color. One thing I made was an Ipad holder from paint can lid fabric.
It turned out so cute I had to share. I used the tutorial from Factotum of Arts tutorial but made it bigger. So so Cute!!!
