Here are a couple of quilts that I entered in my guild's show a couple of weeks ago. "Memories Quilt Shop" is a small 9 X 12 quilt that will be donated to the Ami Simms Art Quilt Initiative, which is an online auction of quilts and the proceeds go toward research for alzheimer's Disease. "Memories ..." was dedicated to my friend Cindy who, at the young age of 58, is in advanced stages of this horrible disease.
I used the HD Designs Four Patch Stacked Posies pattern to make "Gazpacho". I was the only person in class who did not use a floral print. rather, I used vegetable print fabric ... thus my title. Only my second try at FMQ, so don't look too close!

Love Gazpacho, great idea to use vegetables, I have a autumn veg with corn, wheat, pumpkins & gourds that may work. Thanks for the visual, have to take a closer look at the fabric.
Best of luck in the show, I can't imagine Gazpacho not winning. It's really pretty. I like the way you quilted it.
Memories is adorable, & donating it for the cause is a great thing to have done.
