The challenge started in December with Kona Solids charm packs...one hundred of them, one for each member, generously donated by Robert Kaufman. We got to choose from classic colors, brights, pastels, darks and, my choice, dusty.
We could use our approximately 44 - 5" squares to make any patchwork project, any size, but at least part of every charm in the pack needed to be in it somewhere. I used all of the fabric to initially make a series of 'flying geese'...
They stayed on the coffee table and I continued to move them around for about two weeks until I was safisfied with my design.
We were allowed to use additional fabric as long as it was a solid. I added a medium gray and a dark gray.
The sun from our living room window was making it difficult to photograph the quilt top. But while I was waiting for it shine elsewhere, I noticed this view from the back--kind of a stained glass look;)
You can see more KCMQG challenge quilts in the flickr group, and several from the LA Modern Quilt Guild also...enjoy!

That last photo is so neat. I love how you can see the pinked edges with the sun shining through.
I love the way you paired you flying geese colors.
I love it... the simplicity of the solid fabric is just beautiful.
I am so impressed with your beautiful quilt. It is one of my two favorites from the challenge.
I like this a lot - I like how the solids keep it from being super-busy while the overall quilt is not at all plain.
Are those just pieces of cloth? They would look great in t-shirts! ;)
So nice design I like it.
