Winter is coming, so make quilts! This was my first attempt to participate in a quilting challenge, in an event where I would have to use my own creativity and not just follow another pattern. I think the hardest part of creativity for me is trusting that what I can visualize will actually be acceptable by others. I'm not sure why that matters!
In this challenge, Maddie of the BadAssQuilter's Society (my new favorite following) asked us to be inspired by the hit TV drama "Game of Thrones" and limit ourselves to the use of four fat quarters, of predetermined coloring, to an 18-inch square quilt. Hmmm... favorite TV show, quilting, AND be a BADASS? Yes, Please!
I ordered one of each of the color packs, but unfortunately only got around to finishing one quilt. (Moving puts a limit to creativity time!) It was definitely a learning experience as I forced myself to learn a new technique for the border. I think I could have been happier with the results if I had more time to perfect my corners, but I was super psyched to get something entered in time at all!
