Retreat Flower Power Challenge

Recently, my small art quilt group, Dirty Dozen Fiber Artists, had our annual retreat.  As usual, it was tons of fun, with lots of sewing, chatter, eating and laughter.

Each year, we do some sort of group project, which we call Group Therapy.  This year’s challenge started with each of us creating a quilt top inspired by this photo:

We were not asked to recreate this flower exactly, but rather to make something inspired by it, with similar proportions, that would fit a predetermined size.

I had fun working on this.

I was quite happy with it.

Wait till you see what we did to our flowers next!
