The featured fabric had to be at least\u00a0twenty percent of the quilt. I&#8217;ve included a swatch of the fabric, which is a busy paisley print from Timeless Treasures.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m used to using smaller prints or solids, so this was a bit of a challenge for me. After I stared at the fabric for a while, I did get several ideas and eventually decided on the quilt you see, called Paisley Party.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.detray.com\/colormequilted\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/paisley-fabric.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-798\" src=\"http:\/\/www.detray.com\/colormequilted\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/paisley-fabric-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"paisley-fabric\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.detray.com\/colormequilted\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/paisley-fabric-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/www.detray.com\/colormequilted\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/paisley-fabric.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>I got wonderful support from my quilting buddies &#8211; especially Jan, Kathy, Becky\u00a0and Maryam &#8211; and Jeff was there as usual cheering me on. He did keep telling me his opinion didn&#8217;t matter, but I happen to know he has excellent taste. He did, at one point, label the dining room table with a sign that said &#8220;Sewing Annex&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Feel free to mention the contest to all your friends and relatives; I can use all the votes I can get now that we&#8217;re in the thick of the contest.
