So, my quilt guild is having a paint chip challenge. You draw a bag and in it is a paint hip with three colors. You need to use those exact colors and one additional of your choosing. I have completed my top, but don’t really like it (No, it is not the pineapples. I like those). I am hoping some quilting and a different color binding will make me like it more.
That brings me to the pineapples. I want to do some free motion quilting that I have not done before, so I am making some loud happy placements for my dining room. I will use them to practice the quilting for my paint chip challenge quilt.
So for my One Monthly Goal, for April, I plan on having four completed placemats. Hopefully by then I will feel comfortable quilting my paint chip challenge quilt.
I am using some fat quarters. I love these. They are so bright and happy. It makes me smile. I love the flamingos and pineapples.
Happy Sewing
Happy Quilting

What a great idea for getting out of one’s usual pallet of colours! And I like what you have done. (Those are my colours so I am biased.)

I can’t figure out what you don’t like?! I love the Pineapple top! The lemon/lime diamond fabric squares look awesome with it. Your FMQ is excellent too.
