End of the Bolt Sale

This is a challenge block I did for the 2004 Appalachain Quilt Party in Boone, NC.
Along with our welcome packets, they sent us a fat quarter of the yucky green leaf fabric that I used for grass. The challenge was to use the fabric in a 12 inch block with a theme of "nature".
I interpreted the "nature" part in a slightly different way and said that it is the nature of the quilter to collect as much fabric as will fit in her house. Hence, my block shows a quilt shop called "Thimblepatch", which is having an end of the bolt sale, and one excited quilter who has filled her wagon with fabric from the sale.
I haven't turned this block into anything yet, but I plan to make it either a wall hanging or pillow for my sewing room.

This is charming. The "yukky" green fabric looks like the ground with water droplets. Might be fun to play around with children with umbrellas and boots playing in an appliqued puddle in the grass. My daughter loves to quilt and she will always amaze me with the combinations she will put together.
