Lady of Eight
"Looks like we nailed it mom Lady of Eight" said Romeo
This quilt is part of the quilt challenge from Project Quilting. This is my first season joining the group and I think it will be such a great addition to my quilting. It will push my skills and force me to be creative on the spot. This season's first challenge was to create a quilt that represented the number 8 in some way.
By choosing 8 fabrics for the points from a paper pieced pattern I liked from Valori Wells theLady Liberty theme came to mind.
 |
8 solids were chosen to surround the Lady and stamped with 8 of my favorite stamps |
The lay out was completed and in the end changed up removing the blue
Wow! I love all the special details you incorporated into this quilt (all in less than 1 week--pretty impressive!!). So glad you are joining the fun!
