This square was an entry for the annual HGTV CQ Challenge hosted by Nickilee Seavey. I won Best Overall. For a fee, we each received the same kit of supplies that we had to use on the square. It was a lot of fun but somewhat disappointing as only a handful (7 or 8) of the 25 who signed up actually finished. Those who did finish had some lovely squares when the challenge was met. Here are some close up pictures.

Many of you already know of the Flights of Fancy website. Carole has an array of beautiful trims and accessories for crazy quilting. She also offers what she designates as the “Treasure Club” which is an automatic mailing of a coordinated group of trims each month. I decided to join and put myself outside my usual “style” and challenge myself to use all of the items (either wholly or partially) in one square. I’ve completed “December” and I totally enjoyed working on this.
Here are some close up photos.

The January packet is here and I’m anxious to get going on it, but I have other things to do first!
