PMQG Cotton Couture Challenge

Here's a little post for you I started before I got the yuck, I'm finally feeling better YAY. 

A cute banner made by Susan with the fabric: Fog, Meadow, Clementine, Luna, Charcoal, Kryptonite, Tangerine, and Aqua. Two improv blocks left by Heather right by me.

A little while back our board got to pick fabrics (any colors!) from the Michael Miller Cotton Couture line and participate in a block challenge. Kathy Miller will be selecting 16 block out of those submitted from our Guild members to be in a quilt that will be in the Spring Quilt Market. There have been some really fun blocks popping up on the PMQG flickr page and I finally got to start on mine last weekend two weeks ago at the All Day Sew. After tossing around a few ideas for blocks I decided to just wing it based off a rough sketch. To me this is really an improv block but is it improv if you started with a sketch? I am sure there is a discussion or two out there about what makes something an improv piece.

 This is my finished block. Please excuse the horrible ironing job but I wanted to get this post up!

 The Guild has also challenged members to make improv blocks that will be made into a quilt to show at the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show. I managed a second one with some scraps. They are so fun to do! We also realized after our fabric was chosen that it goes with the Quiltcon colors. Is anyone making blocks for the Quiltcon challenge?
