Chookshed Challenge for March Completed

The number selected by Deana for March was Number 4, which for me was to make a donation quilt from a panel.  

I had plenty to select from and chose the teddy bears’ picnic one.  This wasn’t my favourite by any stretch, but I wanted to push myself to do something with it.

I’m pleased to now share the completed quilt.  From a panel I wasn’t fussed on I now have a quilt that I love.

I used the Plumeria pantograph again, which seemed to suit it.

It is fairly sizeable, as the panel was the full width of fabric.  This will be ideal for a single bed, coming in at 46 inches wide by 68 inches high.  As usual, all fabric came from stash.

I’m so pleased that Deana suggested and administers this challenge.  It has pushed me to work on projects that would otherwise still be sitting in the “To Do” pile.

Good for you on the finish and you are certainly keeping up momentum with the challenge. Love how you used that panel & may keep it at the back of my mind. As soon as I can work out how to upload photos from my camera to the new PC setup. I'll be able to post about my challenge bits too. Thanks for sharing, stay cool in the heat, take care & hugs.
