I loved seeing all the lime challenge quilts at the Great New Zealand Quilt Show in Rotorua. I was really pleased that I had two entries in the mix.
The winning quilt was made by Camilla Watson and it was amazing.
There were three or four Merit prizes, and I liked this one by Fyvie Murray.
Here's some of my other favourites:

(You can read more about my entries in my previous post here.)
So you can see that there are many different ways to interpret a theme.
These 12" x 16" minis quilts will travel around New Zealand for a year now. If they come to a town near you, do try and see them. I expect that they will be in Auckland at the Auckland Quilt Guild Festival of Quilts on 5 - 7 November 2021.
I'll tell you more about the Great New Zealand Quilt Show in my next post, but right now I'm off to Christchurch for a cross stitch retreat.
Now it's time for the Peacock Party. Feel free to link up a recent blog post below.

I could spend a long time looking at the winning quilt and the mushroom quilt! How fun to see this challenge...I love lime! :)
wow now those are some art quilts for sure!
So good!!! Thanks for sharing these amazing quilts!!!
Amazing quilts. Thanks Wendy for sharing.
Thanks for sharing all those lime lovelies. I picked out yours right away.
Those minis are lovely. How many were submitted for the show? I'm impressed with the interpretations and absolutely love the way each one is presented. I look forward to more about your trip to the quilt show.
I love all the green. Such pretty quilts.
I think the choice of a lime-colored theme was spot-on! Though, I also believe not all lime colors are created equally. It's difficult to find a pretty lime in a solid. Your entry is beautiful, and looks so much like "you." :-) I'm glad that a quilt show could be held in the first place, and happy that you could attend. Thanks for sharing the lovelies.
Those lime quilts are so pretty!
What gorgeous quilts ... I'm absolutely thrilled with it.
