This is a challenge block I did for the 2004 Appalachain Quilt Party in Boone, NC.
Along with our welcome packets, they sent us a fat quarter of the yucky green leaf fabric that I used for grass. The challenge was to use the fabric in a 12 inch block with a theme of "nature".
I interpreted the "nature" part in a slightly different way and said that it is the nature of the quilter to collect as much fabric as will fit in her house. Hence, my block shows a quilt shop called "Thimblepatch", which is having an end of the bolt sale, and one excited quilter who has filled her wagon with fabric from the sale.
I haven't turned this block into anything yet, but I plan to make it either a wall hanging or pillow for my sewing room.
