April Island Batik Ambassador Challenge

April seemed to just fly by

and I almost forgot to 

share my 

Vintage Quilts Inspiring 

New Creations project.

I do enjoy a good challenge 

and within my Island Batik Ambassador box.

I had received a good many browns,

browns of all different shades.  

I wanted to be challenged with 

being a Ambassador, so 

I didn't chose a color preference in what

fabrics I would like to have received.

That does make a challenge, 

doesn't it? 

This challenge brought out all 

of those gorgeous and rich browns out 

and a little pop of orange.

I even found the perfect matching Aurifil
thread color.
#1130 was so rich, gorgeous,
and matched my applique design to a tee.

I absolutely love the color palette
and

 the vintage look and

feel to this quilt.

I wasn't able to get this all quilted up, 

because I would love to use my 

Free Motion Quilting on my machine, 

but it still seems to be giving me

a bit of trouble.

I didn't think straight line quilting

would quite do it justice,
so I will just have to wait to get it finished.

 I can't wait to show 

you what is in store for next month.
