Paint Chip Challenge Quilt



I've completed the Any Which Way quilt for my guilds' Paint Chip Challenge.  It's due at the February meeting, but I never leave anything to the last minute. I based this design on a quilt from 2015 Quiltcon, Profits & Losses by Gina Pina. Austin, Texas.  I found it via this blog post.  I couldn't find any other information, so I made up my own pattern.  I like how it turned out.

I started this quilt on 12/20/2017 and finished it on 1/28/2018, my long arm quilter really came through for me.  The quilt measures 43.5" x 56".
May your bobbins always be full,

Paint Chip Challenge

My quilt guild, the Temecula Valley Modern Quilt Guild's current challenge is the Paint Chip Challenge.  I went to Home Depot and relieved them of lots of paint chip samples; took them home and cut them up and at the October meeting issued the challenge.

How it works:

  • Each participant will draw two paint chips at random
  • You can add one other color of your choice, or draw an additional chip for a real challenge.
  • You can add one neutral.
  • Make a quilted project using those colors. Fabric can be solids or prints.
  • Project due in February 2018.

Almost everyone, including me, drew 3 paint chips.


These are my paint chips and the fabric I matched to them.


And this is the design I came up with.  I call it Any Which Way!  This is only the quilt top, right now it's at the long-arm quilters, waiting for her to do her magic.
May your bobbins always be full,
