The May challenge for the Fat Quarter Club at the Quilt Room in Huffman was to take a lovely cream fabric with brown and blue hearts on it and make something masculine.
Hearts? Masculine? What were they thinking?
I had already decided that I would make something that took more than a fat quarter this month as I have lots of little projects around here and really don't need any more.
Without any agonizing this time I decided that I would make a wheel chair quilt for the local VA hospital.
I added about five more fat quarters, some Kona brown and a brown zippered pocket to come up with this:
Not how I thought it would turn out but I think its a nice little quilt. At 36" x 42" its just the right size to cover a lap and not get caught in the wheels and the little zippered pocket adds some extra utility to it....but maybe I should have put the pocket on the back or in not so sharp a contrast fabric???
I used about three yards of fabric and, although it is more unisex than masculine, I think it will fit the challenge this month.
As I write this it is a cloudy, muggy day in Kingwood Texas. We haven't had more than a quarter inch of rain in one day since January this year so all of us are crossing our fingers that these clouds will bring some rain. Heck, I even performed my personal rain dance yesterday and had the car washed!
