Terrie, I think the main rule is that it can't be smaller than 25" x 25". Teri Lucas and I are suggesting 25" x 40" or vice-a-versa as a possible size--bigger is ok, but you might want to keep it kind of small. From looking at past tactile architecture quilts it can even be a shaped quilt. Our point was to take up this challenge and have some fun with this adventure and not stress over it.

still planning to join in, Betty Jo! I'm hoping to work on my son's comic strip quilt and get it finished while on Christmas break (or soon thereafter!!), and then will pull out my Brazil fabrics for the Brazil quilt (based on cobblestone street/sidewalk designs....). I've committed to not buying ANY new fabric this whole year unless it is for a specific purpose that is for an ALREADY PURCHASED project, as my TO DO cabinet is overflowing. I will have PLENTY to keep me busy all year even w/o new fabric purchases, hard as that might be. Must get some of these ideas from head to paper to fabric!!! So, happily joining in with mine I'll get started in January, but it's drawn and drafted, I just have to cut and sew........

Well Heather you are ahead of me. I don't have mine either drawn or drafted. And I keep changing my mind about what I want to do. But I am thinking I will just settle on an idea and if I like it I might do a different one another time. Thanks for the nudge BJ. I am spending this evening sorting all my coloured scraps into different baskets.

here's hoping it turns out as well in real life as it looks in my head :mrgreen:

Originally posted by ReetzbobeetzI just watched the show with Katy MP - have a look if you haven't already, it will free your right brain and then you won't have to worry about whether it looks just right. Artistic license is always allowed.
Also I plan to use more free-form pieces, not so much exact rectangles. Anyway, this is the basic idea....it's just scary taking an image from my head (it's been living there for 18+ months after all) and making it reality, ya know? But I'll have fun with it, for sure!
The idea is, the bottom/left half (picture a diagonal from top left to bottom right) will be in the colors of the cobblestone -- tan, beige, terra cotta, very dark browns. The top/right half will be the colors from nature -- blues/creams/oranges/pinks, depending on whether sky, bird, ocean waves/sand or flower.
In my mind's eye, it comes out striking, and stunningly so. In reality......we'll see. I'm sure I will love it, just hopefully I can make it look how it looks in my head.....

Heather that's a beautiful design. Lots of curved pieces there. Have you done that before? Get some practice in before you try it for real.
Wendy, it's show 906. There are 3 shows free over the holidays so I decided to watch them again - even though I think I already have them on my shows list. Ep. 701 with Nancy Brown would have been useful to you when you were doing your recent quilt with the dog and boat for your friend. Oh well.

Thank you for the kind words!
