PQ 12. 4 already = Animal Tales n Trails

Project Quilting 12.4 challenge this week is inspired by the Snail Trail block. You can find details about the challenge with Kim from Persimon Dreams.

I have to say I am not really a fan of that snail trail block. 

It does change things when it is paired with other blocks or by the use of color. 

I played around with drawing a few ideas. I just kept thinking of a vortex and I wanted to do that improvisationally.  Not really what I had in mind for this challenge.  I started to think what could I do with 2 colors and then instead how could I make it more colors that the traditional 2 or 4. I tried 8 and this is what I came up with. 

I tried to simulate a few colors into how this would work. I think my finished result is not quite right. I think I ended up with a few triangles left over and maybe a wrong color here or there but still I like the result. 

Just like in my last post, I am out trampling around in the snow and it is so pretty and calm out here. I forget I am supposed to be taking quilt pics. :)

This little Animal Tales n Trails is my own design

Measures approx. 38" x 38" 

spiral quilting

Can you see the elephant trunk? or maybe the dinosaur tail?

Anyway this was indeed a challenge to come up with something of my own. 

I could maybe make this into a pattern because I think it would make a cute play mat for baby. I don't know..maybe? 

I am glad I did the challenge.

In other news...QuiltCon together is going on now. 

I am lucky enough to have/contributed to 3 quilts there. 

The Bee quilt was made by Beemate Liz. 

The guild quilt blocks were made by many many members. Pieced together by myself, Jen McKitrick and Michelle Cotton. A Labor of love so I am so happy it made it in the show even though my picture was not great that I submitted. 

Lastly my ode to MQG modern classic Oblique pattern by Diana Vandeyar
