Tulip

Each Big Sky Quilt Retreat has a theme based challenge.  The first year I came up with the challenge, I didn't know what I was doing so I said any quilt with a yellow star in it was a challenge quilt.  The next year, there were solid rules.  This year, the challenge was still based on the theme of Open Season for Quilters.  None of the rules have been updated since I came up with them.
Part of the challenge is a size requirement.  The largest you can go is approximately 18" x 24".  The item I ended up was way bigger than that so I taped it to the correct size.

I do not think is showed very well at the smaller size but it did fit the requirements for the category for which I wanted to enter the quilt.

This is the full size of the quilt.  Right now it is not finished because I do believe I have to cut it down some but I haven't decided where to trim it.  It is hanging in our room right now so I can think about where to cut it every day.

All of the fabric came out of my stash so that was an added bonus.
For the technique I was using, I believe I should have had more items that I was drawing and then I should have just taken a section of the drawing.  Focusing on one thing and then not making it perfect didn't seem to work out.
There were only 5 quilts entered in the Challenge category at the Big Sky Quilt Retreat.  This Tulip quilt did end up with 3rd place and prize money of $20.00 so that was fun.
