Riley Blake Challenge Sunday Stash

April 5, 2015 by childlikefascination

It’s Sunday, a day of rest or a day for craft? Well it’s been a while but my itty-bitty bundle of Riley Blake The Cottage Garden by Amanda Herring of The Quilted Fish.

Riley Blake MQG Challenge

I was fortunate enough to sign up before they ran out of the sample bundles and have started sketching some ideas that are a bit more modern than my usual designs. Unfortunately I can’t find a page on the Modern Quilt Guild site to link with the rules, but they’re as follows:

MQG 2015 Fabric Challenge – Riley Blake 
  • Make something fantastic that is quilted
  • Make something you have never done before
  • Challenge yourself to learn something new
  • The challenge runs from March until July 2015
  • Tag all your photos on Facebook and Instagram with #mqgfabricchallenge
  • Use only Riley Blake “The Cottage Garden” fabrics ad coordinating Riley Blake basics and solids

Here’s some REALLY rough digital sketches of ideas I’m floating around.  I don’t experiment with asymmetry and alternate grids very often so it’s kind of fun playing with this challenge. Any feedback? I’m all ears cause chances are I’m going to do what I want anyways 😉

Meanwhile the craft room last week as I worked on my first mini quilt. A little honest craft room action: piles, snacks, computer, fabric, mess. It’s not a Pinterest worthy beauty but it’s home 🙂

    I like the asymmetry of cutting up the strips of triangles a lot; that is a great idea. I struggled to find coordinating Riley Blake solids in stock anywhere, but I think I finally found a shop to place an order for me. It will be fun to see what everyone comes up with for the challenge.

    Real life and real quilting IS messy. I need to get started on my Riley Blake challenge, No idea yet what to make.
