Karen S Musgrave has an interesting blog that I follow. I also had recently bought and was reading
Rayna Gillman's new book
Create Your Own Free-Form Quilts: A Stress-Free Journey to Original Design. So when Karen issued a challenge using some very old/outdated fabric that she would supply, it seemed like a fun thing to participate in--even though I was far from attracted to the fabric. I signed up, and when the fabric arrived, I liked it even less than the picture, but hey, it's a challenge! Here is what the fabric looks like:

The rules are that the challenge fabric must show on the front of the piece; any changes--dye, paint, stamping, etc., are permitted; must use Rayna's book as inspiration; deadline to finish is March 1; we must take pictures along the way. I began sewing strip-sets of pieces already cut just to get something started. Wish me luck!

I can't wait to see what you create! Hugs, Karen
