Toile Challenge Projects

Please don't get too excited - we don't actually have any purple toile in stock!  These shades are all created from the white and black toile that we DO have in stock.  What a difference a packet of dye can make?  This fabulous round quilt was a top vote recipient in the categories of most innovative design and most creative use of the toile fabric....Thank-you Suz - I might just have to make a dahlia quilt of my own now that you've shown us another take on color and design.    

Wow - what a difference a change in shape makes.  I can't say I've ever seen an oval center before and it really turns this small quilt into more of a portrait don't you think?  Kind of like an old photo and beautiful chocolate brown shades!!  Great job Louise!

And Judy shipped her little quilt to us from California to enjoy - beautiful soft colors, a nice border stripe and a great use for this larger scale subtle colored toile print.  This quilt won viewer's choice!  Great job Judy and thanks so much for sharing long distance!

These two pillows were the most vibrant - starting with the shades of blue toile - very innovative designs and a great step towards modern and crisp with the white contrast.  These are well executed Lynn and interesting to look at, a great way to take toile fabric beyond traditional!

And yes...if you look closely, Sharon did use some of the toile in the light position in this little quilt.  It is a beautiful quilt, and the fun pops of color, and bit of toile all combine to make a work of art.  I really appreciated that although this was about toile, Sharon was able to create a project that was on her terms and still participate in our challenge.  We love that!  

Thank-you to everyone that participated, by entering, voting and/or admiring we hope you found some inspiration one way or another!

Happy Stitching and Congratulations to our winners!!
