Cube Challenge a la Escher

My M. C. Escher-inspired Cube Challenge project is finished. Back from the quilter, bound and labeled, in plenty of time to meet the Feb. 28 deadline. 

It's too big to photograph on my outdoor wall, so I can only show an indoor shot of the whole thing. The quilt is perfectly square; it's the photo that's askew. 

Alycia  quilted it for me and she did exactly the kind of quilting I asked for. Line work in the Y shapes and an allover paisleys in the background. Perfect!

It definitely meets the criteria for the challenge. The woman in charge of the challenge gave it a big smile and a nod of approval when I showed it at our guild meeting this week. 

When I was piecing it I hadn't decided yet whether it would be for the bed or would hang in our foyer. I gave my husband the choice before I ordered the batting for it. He chose to have it on our bed so I ordered wool batting. I wouldn't have anything else for a bed quilt; wool batting is so drapey and light weight. But I'd use something firmer and less stretchy for a wall quilt. As you can see in the top photo, this quilt works perfectly on our bed, and after the challenge show it'll live there permanently. 

The challenge quilts will be on display in PebbleCreek's Creative Arts Center in March. Two display windows and lots of quilts, so only a portion of mine will be visible. But I can definitely say I met the challenge!
