FOREST FELINE

Forest Feline was rejected as a Hoffman entry.  Apparently the shape did not relate enough to the picture.  

Never mind, it went on to win 200$ in a different contest so it paid for itself. (I love it when quilts pay for themselves.)

This was a snippet style quilt using only the provided fabric and a black background. Tiny pieces were cut, ironed on then covered with tulle to prevent escaping.  It was then quilted through. Much like my Emerged entry.

There is something to be said for entering challenges.  Besides the potential prize.  

One is that they are usually smaller quilts and won't use up heaps of resources.  Another is that being small, it's a GREAT place to try something out of the norm.

Challenges inspire me to try new techniques and risky designs.  *On that note, for every quilt displayed on this site, there were two more either designed and never made or started and discarded. *  So as with any skill keep practicing!!
