    Default Mouse Trap Challenge

    This quilt was part of a fabric challenge we had in our quilt group. Last June 10 of us went on the Central Coast Quilt Run here in California. The first shop we stopped at we pulled a whole bunch of fabrics that had at least 10 yards on it and had several different colors in it. Then we voted on the fabric. We all bought a piece of the fabric and spent the rest of the run finding different fabrics to go with it. In my quilt, you can't really tell what the challenge fabric is, most of the rest have put their fabric into their quilts so that you know what the challenge fabric is. We will display these quilts at our church quilt show on Mothers day. When we have them all hanging up I will share them again as a group.
    This is a twin size. The pattern is Mouse trap. I quilted it on my Domestic Bernina with a daisy and a swirl to go along with the fabric.[ATTACH=CONFIG]465882[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]465883[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]465884[/ATTACH]

    The fabric with the light background and blue daisy is the fabric we chose

    Great quilt! and looking forward to seeing what others did with the fabric. What a great fun idea for a group! I'm trying to figure out which one was the challenge fabric.

    It's the fabric in the bottom photo. The floral with the ivory back ground and blue daisy type flowers
