Feeling the music

 I get ideas in my head when a new challenge is announced

but most of them never come to fruition.

This theme was no exception!

Perhaps some day I will learn the skill of sketching out my ideas on paper!

As the deadline loomed,

I looked at musical photos, 

musical videos,

 and finally

musical quotes.

While I feel like this may not be the most original idea

I resorted to my love of text to portray this theme....

using some musical black and white fabrics (of course!)

that have been in my stash for a while

along with some of my newer hand dyed fabrics

to create this quilt...

Oddly enough,

while I aimed for the 16" x 20" size suggested by Janet, 

my piece came out to be 18 7/8" x 20 5/8".

(Yes, I usually am odd!)

I think I may try to add some embellishing -

I started playing with some beading in the "i"-

(and if I do, I will post an updated photo!)

but I did manage to finish this one in time 

for our extended deadline.

Post Script

Thanks to all of you for your kind words after I posted my latest almost-done challenge quilt!

I have to say that being OPEN and honest has been rather invigorating for me and has caused my creative mojo to runneth over!  I spent almost the entire weekend creating!!! I didn't even get dressed yesterday because I was so busy!!! What a wonderful feeling!!

So now challenge #11 is done!
