What A Wonderf World: Part Two

Finally getting this quilt blogged.
I mentioned a couple of posts back that my group, Erie St Quilters, did a challenge based off the song, What A Wondeful World, sing by Louis Armstrong. 

This was my result. I basically did something similar to a Temperature Quilt, where I assigned each guitar chord in the song a fabric color and then constructed the quilt from there. 
The backing fabric I found at a thrift store. Something like 4 yards. I just love it. 
The fabrics were all hand dyed, mostly by a former member of my quilt quilt and some cherry woods. 
I washed it when I was done and completely forgot about hands dyes running. They did run a bit, but didn't really ruin anything. 
It was also supposed to finish 30x30. It's smaller, which must be from washing. If we decide to enter these somewhere as a group, I'll have to see if I can block it. 

I've started blogging from my phone, so that seems to be going OK. At least I'm blogging again!

What a Wonderful World

I'm part of a group of 10 women that get together to sew monthly. The Erie St. Quilters. Last summer we decided to do a challenge based on the song sung by Louis Armstrong "What a Wonderful World"

We shared our finished quilts at our last meeting. 
The rule was that it was supposed to finish 30"x30" with a more modern look.

Mine is this last one pictured. Somehow it ended up too small. It may have shrunk when I washed it?

I'll share details of mine next time.
