Quilts on Ice

Black Licorice by Donna Mease


Awards were presented for my Guild's Challenge so I can finally post some quilts.  The Challenge was called In Living Color and the quilts had to include the two black and white challenge fabrics, use a color in the title and include a person, animal, reptile or fish.  The results were amazing and creative.  I've included all the quilts which won awards plus a few more that I especially liked.



Black and Blue and Green All Over by Susan Chandler



Pinky's Spoolin' Around by Debbie Jones

 
Mary Ann's quilt is covered with a layer of red tulle:





Red Velvet Cats by Mary Ann Smith




Catching a Glimpse of Red by Mary Eilerts


It's hard to see but the words are made out of zippers - very clever and appropriate!




Fifty Shades of Grey by Connie Glaves
 


Green-eyed Cat of Many Colors by Jenny Hudson


 


 
Maranda Reads Little Red Riding Hood by Sharon Smith




Sharon  included lots of fun details in her quilt:

Who Invited Red?  by Betty Blundon



 

Can We Be Green? by Janet Ghilino Bates
 
 
 
We had an ice storm a few days ago that left everything covered in 1/4 inch of ice.  It really transformed the landscape.  Once the sun came out the trees glittered like they were covered with diamonds.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Rosie the cat did NOT approve of an icy lawn.  She picked her feet up in disgust after every step.

  2. I'm with Rosie, I didn't like the ice either no matter how pretty it was the next day!

    It surprised me how many of the challenge quilts used red. One of these years I may just finish my challenge quilt which also used red!
