Modern Quilt Guilds across the world are taking part in the Robert Kaufman Kona Solids Quilt Challenge! The challenge is to use all 43 colours on the quilt! We can add prints & other fabrics but the Kona Solids must remain the focal point of the quilt. The Vancouver Modern Quilt Guild chose the solids in the dark palette. So here is what I came up with...
Another TEA theme... BIG SURPRISE! I hardly ever use solids and if I do they are usually neutral linen-cotton blends so this really was a challenge for me! Although they are not colours I would normally work with, I am quite pleased with how my quilt turned out!
Someone mentioned that I actually went ahead and used the solid fabrics to create prints such as in the polkadot teapot... I didn't notice before but they are right! I made some ribbon with a tea quote especially for this project using my fabric labesl tutorial. Adding the trims, ribbons, buttons & embroidery definitely added some PatchworkPottery style!
And YES! I managed to use all 43 colours on the front! Some of the teacups were even made with three different colors!
Love, love your Patchwork Pottery style and that you've managed to maintain it for this challenge with such a gorgeous piece! As always, the details in your work and just excellent, Laurraine!
