Project Quilting - Hometown Pride!

I am brainstorming my ideas for Project Quilting Season 9 in a notebook this year. The quilt challenge number 1 is hometown pride. I want to keep all my quilt challenge ideas in one place this year. Plus, I can grab my notebook and take it with me.

First, I stated the challenge and my personal challenge.

This season, I am making personal challenges for me, For example to use my personal stash of fabric or a certain color.

PQ Challenge:  Hometown pride
My Personal Challenge:  Use Reds and Pinks - Cherrywood Fabrics.

Next, I listed some ideas - rapid fire listing. whatever came to my mind.

Then I listed all the places I lived in my life. I have lived in 11 places between Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota, and Iowa. I moved 22 times!
The longest place I have ever lived, is where I live right now, Boscobel, Wisconsin.  We have lived here for 15 years and hopefully 20 to 30 more years - if I live to 80 or 90!

The sketches and scribbles were next....

 Fabric choices:  A tiny print of grey on cream, with Cherrywood reds and a grey hand dyed fabric from Quilts by Barb.

Here's what I did.......

It's ready to quilt!

Double Batting:  80/20 on the bottom and washable wool on top.
