The challenge is - "The F Word"!
Well, after all the ......... bits went through my mind - I rummaged through all my bits and pieces in the stash - the ones I wanted are really on the floor behind the sewing machine. I found Lisa Waltons "forest " fabric!
So here is my answer to the challenge (bindings still to be finished!
Please meet Forest Fire! I think that meets the criteria!
Here are 2 detail photos. I have used two threads in the needle and really played with the machine tension to get texture onto the surface (loops). It was a big job to get the machine back to norma to sew the first of the bindings onl!
I really have has fun with this because I threw all the quilting rules out the window! Well, I tried to!
Please let me know what you think.

This looks great Sally! love the stitching, colours and use of the fabric.
Looks fantastic, Sally. I wish I could let myself go like that to make original and artier (is that a word?) quilts!
I want to come live with you so that some of this incredible creativeness can rub off on me.
This looks really terrific Sally. Hope you will bring it to show me when I see you in Feb.
