Birthstone Challenge by Heidi Kapszukiewicz, 12" square Today's inspiration comes from Heidi Kapszukiewicz. Here's Heidi's description of her challenge quilt: This is a guild challenge where we used our birthstone color for a quilted piece. I chose Vicki's blue fabric to be the basis for my aquamarine birthstone. I saw many flower and leaf images in the fabrics and I wanted to try thread stitching. So I used various variegated threads to bring out the shapes. I also wanted to have a natural border of leaves at the bottom. These were added later. This is all Vicki's fabric except the tummy of my tree swallow who decided to visit us with its mate. I added star shaped beads to complete the sky. I won "members' choice" at my guild and this was displayed at our quilt show with other entries.  For sharing, Heidi received a 20% coupon for the shop that's good for 3 months!

 Going in Circles by Andrea Luliak, 24" x 24" Today's inspiration is a challenge quilt made by Andrea Luliak suing the South Pacific gradient.
From Andrea: "This was a challenge from my FL art quilt group, the Dirty Dozen. We had to paint an ugly watercolor painting and pick a section for inspiration. The ugly painting was the hardest part of the challenge, and I'm pleased with the use of the gradient! I added a small bit of yellow, as the gradient piece could not completely cover the area. It will be exhibited at Quilts and Lace in Florida." For sharing, Andrea received a 20% coupon for the shop that's good for 3 months!
