I think these are amazing.  Last Fall when I went to the Houston International Quilt Festival with my friend Michelle, I bought the fabric for the Graffiti challenge.  I was so excited about it, I was sure I could think of something!  But the fabric is still sitting there and I didn't come up with a "clever" idea.  I will use the beautiful fabric for something else.

I was talking to a friend this morning and she said she never felt like she was clever enough for the guild challenges we had several years ago.  I thought her guild challenge quilts were fantastic!  She remembered one of mine and I told her that I felt like it was the one time I came up with a clever idea for a challenge quilt 😂.

This quilt was made for a "Go Green" challenge for the Colorado West Quilt Guild in 2009.  It was supposed to be about being environmentally friendly, recycling etc. and the idea I came up with was "Reducing My Carbon Footprint", with a large blingy shoe on top and working down to just a simple footprint, with no bling.  For me .... that was pretty clever!  😂

Maybe next year I can think of something for the Cherrywood Challenge!

Have a great day!😊
