Modern Guild Guild Challenge Piece Finished! "Gearing Up" $325

Elizabeth Garlington was the speaker

at the Modern Quilt Guild meeting 

a few months ago.  After her presentation, Elizabeth 

asked the group to each put the 2 fat quarters brought for a mystery challenge on a table. 

I presumed that we were going to use our 2 fat quarters to put a composition together just using our 

original fabrics.  I was surprised when we were to cover our eyes and choose 2 new fabrics from the table for our challenge.    I chose this red linen and a cotton beige.  I use red a lot in my art but not beige making this quite a challenge for me.  

Hand appliqued circles and squares are embellished with Big Stitch circles and 

improvisational lines.
20 inches long X 16 inches wide.
"Gearing Up" - $325

" No Where To Hide"

  At our recent Asheville Modern Quilt Guild meeting,

Elizabeth Garlington stated that she felt when using solid fabrics

that there was "no where to hide".  

I've pondered that quite a bit since I mainly use batik fabrics.

Now as I quilt this Wall Art piece that is primarily gray fabric,

I am understanding her thoughts better.
