If I write it here, I have to do it, right?
Aotearoa Quilters have another colour challenge on at the moment. This time it's Lime, and it's one of my favourite colours.
Whenever I see the colour challenge quilts displayed together, I always wish that I'd entered. So this time I'm going to make it happen.
I've only entered twice before - the silver challenge for the 25th anniversary (where the shape was a hexagon), and the yellow challenge.

These gorgeous pictorial quilts are well outside my comfort zone, but I'll just do my thing and make something lime. I'm not aiming to win a prize, just to have my little quilt up on a wall of lime quilts. The dimensions this time are 12" x 16" so that will be different. The conditions of entry are here.

Have fun with the challenge, I enjoy watching you work on challenge quilts. Happy stitching!
All of those challenge quilts make a stunning display. Have fun with lime. I find lime a challenging color to work with but kind of like it combined with gray every once in awhile.
I love lime - it's a great neutral and adds a real kick when working with lots of greens. I don't plan to enter but I might just play with the 12" x 16" mini idea myself. Looking forward to seeing what you do!
Thanks for sharing all those quilts.
Oh, I will be watching for this as I adore lime!!!
Hi Wendy, good luck with your lime quilt! A wall of quilts of the same colour looks pretty darn lovely! Take care.
Your quilt is going to be wonderful, I love these fabrics!
I've never had an opportunity to participate in a color challenge, but this sure looks like fun! I love lime, and it's nice that you already have those pieces in your stash. No doubt, making this is gonna be fun!
