Off to HMQS we go!
This year we decided to participate in the 2009 Quilt Challenge. Here's how it works.

We purchased a kit that included 6 prints from the collection Elle Fun by Quilting Treasures. The challenge is to make a quilt with a perimeter of no more than 120", using the theme Pump Up the Color. You may add embellishments and up to four other prints. We came up with the idea.
"On a Bike"

The only fabric that we added was the white background material. We
appliqued the wool bike and then added a few embellishments. This quilt will be judged at the quilt show May 7-9 2009 then
auctioned off.
