September was just awesome!! 14 lovely entries with a nail biting finish ! The excitement on the DQ page at the time of the challenge deadline could've easily rivaled that of a derby ! Whew !!
A quick recap of the September '12 rules:
1.Make a wholecloth quilt, not smaller than 24"x18"
2.Use any quilting technique as long as the top is one single piece
3.Your entry is valid ONLY if entered in the doc here as well as posted in the Challenge album
Truth be told, DQs have outdone themselves this month. There were quite a few first time participants and that is sooo heart warming. Without further ado, here are the lovely lovely lovely entries. Just lovely.

3. Manju Narain
My Experiment with ‘Kantha’, Size : 18”x24”
Kantha is a traditional hand embroidery style from West Bengal. It is mainly running stitch embroidered on sarees, dupattas and even used for quilting a few layers of fabric together. This form has always fascinated me and I thought the ‘ one piece quilt challenge’ would be good place to play with it and make something small as it takes forever to do. So here is my interpretation of it! I have used silk fabric for the top, the backing is cotton and the filling is polyester fiber.

Three best entries will be decided by votes and one lucky winner among them, by lots. Thank you BERNINA India, for sponsoring the prizes and adding that zest to the Challenge !
What a lovely collection of quilts. Very sad that I missed this month..
ReplyDeletei am pressed for choice..!!
ReplyDeleteIt definitely was nail biting!!!!Looking forward to the next challenge
ReplyDeleteHow well written !! You've captured the tension in the last half hour before entries closed !! I met Kalindi the other day and she was describing how her quilt was ready and photographed only 10 mins before the deadline and how she had to ask her DH to upload the pic !!! With the internet the way it is that was an uphill task !!! Aliya had a similar story too.
ReplyDeleteMaybe entrants should write here, again, instead of just on our DQ page, how they finished or what they went thru while completing their quilts.
