Project Quilting, Challenge 5

Project Quilting challenge 5 went up on Sunday.  This weeks challenge is the Print Publications.  You choose a magazine, open to page 28 and use that as your inspiration.

I chose a Vegetarian Times magazine. Actually, I grabbed a few of them and they all had a similar color scheme and setup.

The colors on this page just popped so I couldn't help myself,  I had to go and find some at the fabric store.  (I was trying to sew all the challenges from my stash.)  So I picked up three Kona solids and mixed in a few batiks that I had.  So here is my creation for this week, I am calling it Frittata Quilt and it measures 32"x32".

It is more abstract, I pulled the colors and the placement of the plate, plus the glasses in the right hand corner.  There is free motion swirls on the solid blue on the front what were inspired by the batik blue.

The back was pieced with the left over Kona solids from the front.  I am loving how the swirls pop off the green on the back.

This was a really fun challenge.  I tried to step outside my box with it and love the outcome.  And I even hand stitched the binding on, so not the norm for me.  Can't wait to see all the other creations that this week brings.  You still have time to enter if you want, submissions aren't due until Sunday March 10 at noon.

And I just have to share this picture, my daffodils started blooming this week, just in time for this wonderful storm to hit the north east.  So here is the first daffodil blooming in the snow.
