My local quilt guild had a Crayon Challenge. What is a Crayon Challenge you ask?
While signing up for the Christmas Dinner we each drew a crayon from a paper bag.
I drew...
"Mustard".
We were to make something using that color. For those that participated the items would be displayed at the Christmas Dinner. Votes would be cast. Winners would be drawn. Sort of a Viewers Choice sort of vote.
Now I am very fond of yellow but this yellow...not so much.
In my stash I had a yellow print with some lovely flowers. This yellow/mustard color was also in the print as almost a tone on tone. So I decided this was my best bet.
This looks more like spring than Christmas but...
I made Mug Rugs.
The colors used in the centers are taken from the colors of the flowers, etc. that are in the print. I did the same for the binding.
Do I like these? Yes and No.
What do you think?
Enjoy!
Have a super great sewing and stitching day!
Happy Holidays to all!
What a wonderful idea. I'd like to remember that for next year in my Bee. Love your mug rugs.
