Drawing is now closed--winner was Mark!
First up in my little experiment--Picture Windows.
It may not look like much now but this quilt is full of color.
It's constructed of muslin with brown cotton sashing and printed binding. Flannel provides a lightweight batting.
The entire piece is machine quilted. The size is approximately 40x52 inches.
All this quilt needs is YOU.
A winner will be chosen from the comments and the winner will keep the finished quilt.
By leaving a comment you agree that you:
- have a sense of adventure and desire to play along
- live in the U.S. so shipping is cheap(er) or you're willing to chip in to pay for shipping
- will follow the instructions provided to complete the quilt within one week of receipt
- will share photos with Melissa (the photos are key otherwise this just isn't any fun at all--I have no idea what this is going to look like and really want to see it completed!)
Special requirements for this project (this will vary for every project):
To finish this quilt, the winner will need a flat surface that is larger than the quilt and unable to be stained or damaged by water. A grass lawn is pretty much the most ideal surface.
Ready to go? Leave a comment on this post and make sure it includes your email address. Comments will be open for one week (closing on Sunday April 22). I'll announce the winner and ship the quilt next Monday.
WHOA! This requires no sewing, just following some mysterious instructions?
I'm IN! How exciting!

Alright. I'm a little scared, but it seems creative and we need some fun around here. I'm in! (And if I win, I'll even meet you somewhere so you don't have to ship.)

I think my preschool group would love this art experiment. They like to have their pictures taken too and we could display it at school! Beth
