My January Color Challenge piece is done! Here’s the palette we were given by Vicki:
And here’s my interpretation:
If ever we have a day in Texas when the winds aren’t blowing 90 miles an hour, I’ll take it outside and get a better picture. Also, sometime tomorrow I hope to have the pattern available if anyone wants to make it. It isn’t real quick and depending on your definition of easy or difficult, it isn’t too hard. There are a lot of flying geese, which I find kinda time consuming. It’s 79″ x 99″ and I think it was a lot of fun to make.
Becky in VA says
Very nice!
Ronda says

Judy Laquidara says
That’s why I just wrote a borders book! 🙂
Debbie says
It is very beautiful! Bravo!!!!
Donna Keating says
Love the colors and the quilt design. Beautiful. Wind is not our friend this time of year. Allergies – ugh!
Barbara Green says
It’s great, Judy… it seems to me you’re ‘spot on’ with your interpretation of the color palette. (And, to let you know, my Pieced Borders book came today. Yea!)
Marla says
I love both your pattern and those colors. Beautiful!

Very, very nice Judy! Great interpretation!!!
Kristen says
I really love the way you used those colors! 🙂
Linda in NE says
Very pretty!! Have you come up with a name for it yet?
Good luck getting a day without wind. I swear, these plains states have wind 90% of the time….or it at least seems that way.
Linda in NE says
Duh, it’s name is Blueberry Hill. My bad!!
Vicki W says
I love it!
Lee says
Very pleasing to the eye and it looks great!
Diane Kelsey says
How lovely. Have you made this all during January?
Alycia says
Wow!! That is beautiful!!
Vicki Mc says
Very nice. I do like it.
Liz says
Great looking quilt – an alternate name could be Texas Bluebonnets since it reminded me of a big field of those with an occasional red wildflower in there.
And the winds in TX and OK will always blow hard, except for in the summer in really hot weather, then it is calm. We joke to people who visit the lake that the average wind is 15mph. It’s either nothing or blowing 30!
Kathy says
Beautiful quilt! I love the borders – they are just perfect for this quilt. Great job.
Erin says
I love it…where do you get your energy? You are over and above that energizer bunny there girl!
Sharon says
Wonderful quilt! … I’m only doing a block of the month with each color palette. You go girl!
Karen says
Beautiful!! sure got done with it fast.

I’m not exactly sure but I think this is the prettiest quilt you have ever made! Thanks for sharing.
Barbara says
I love it but then then I love all your quilts.

Jean says
Judy
Received the new book in the mail yesterday, and only had time to skim through it.What a wealth of information, beautiful quilts, and awesome borders.
This is one book I am going to become very familiar with!! Thanks so much for writing it. It must have been alot of work.
AnnieO says
Besides the beautiful colors, your quilt design has so many great diagonal lines, movement, and interesting focus parts. Just wonderful! I love it.
Linda in Calif. says
The borders are what makes this quilt so pretty. Which is why buying your border book would be so worth it.
Laura says
Really like your interpretation.
myrna sossner says
This is such a great quilt and I love the name too.
I have a question…how do you make flying geese? You must have a quickie way considering how many there are in the quilt.

Jeny MacPhee says
Judy – that’s lovely! I initially thought I would prefer it with the other green you picked out, but the one you used goes really well.
Amy says
Oh I love that!!!
