Some of you may remember that I was so impressed by the Green Challenge last year, I vowed to enter a mini quilt this year, regardless of what the colour was. Well, I was true to my word, and made a yellow mini quilt.

I decided to modify a la passacaglia rosette to make the sun against a blue sky. I hand quilted radiating lines out from the sun.
It's nice to think I had a mini in the exhibition. The skill and artistry that went into some of them was amazing. Here's some of my favourites - I don't know the makers sorry:

There were some amazing pieces in that exhibition. Meant to let you know I had seen your entry too. How does one compete in this?
Very beautiful works! Thank you for possibility of them to see!)))
lovely blocks yellow is such a cheerful colour, liking the blues with yours too
Thanks so much for sharing the pictures....wonderful!!!!!
Those are beautiful .. a wall of sunshine. How many little quilts were there? Thanks for sharing your quilt show photos.
My favourite colour!
Didn't they look fab?! I loved seeing them all together. Mine wasn't there because it sold and they decided not to put photographs up of the ones that sold like they did last year. Oh well. I know two of the quilts you have pictured - the bottom one 96 is made by Mathea Daunheimer who's blog is Esparta Fiber Arts and 45 is made by Anne Lunn, a Kerikeri club member and she'll be stoked to know it made your roll call!
How super fun is this?? All in the same color way!! Love it and your little mini is darling!!
Yours is lovely - I also adore the yellow submarine! What a terrific exhibit and such great talent and optimism!!!!
Yours looks so sunny!
I love the idea of a challenge simply being a colour. The creative possibilities are endless.
One day, I will enter something like this - when the guilt of other WIPs has eased a bit.
