A Promise of Spring and the challenge is complete!

The Last four! I can't believe I have actually done it 100 motifs all done and just in the nick of time.
I chose pastel Spring shades for these remaining motifs inspired by motif #123  which to me is the ultimate sunshine motif, it cheered me up because I have quite forgotten what the sun looks like.


As you can see the sunshine is gleaming through the clouds :)

Motif #123
Motif #121
Motif #107
Motif #63
I love all of these motifs especially motif #121 but the prettiest I think is motif #107 and it's lovely to make, it would be easy to just keep on going and make it as large as you like.

So in conclusion I have enjoyed making these motifs and I would urge anyone to give them a try.  The ones I liked the best are the hexagons and the triangles the least.
I bet you are wondering what I'm going to do with them all, I will probably use a lot of them for embellishments.  I intend making wall displays with some, coasters of course and going right back to the first motif I made I have a work in progress using that very 



motif, it's very pretty but to be honest I'm not sure yet what it will turn out to be, blanket, shawl or throw that depends on how far the yarn will stretch :)

 and so one last picture just so they can take a bow ta da..........


Progress 100 out of 100 :)

Wishing everyone a happy, peaceful, prosperous and above all healthy new year. xxxxx

  1. Congratulations, Linda!! The colors for this last set look so beautiful again! And no - I will not rub it in that I've made more motifs than you... *gg* (remember our little private challenge at the beginning of the year?)

    Anyway: I loved seeing your progress and I'm looking forward to whatever you're showing us next year!

    Have a happy new year!!

  5. Ha ha, I've just got my book out, and I notice there are 144 motifs and your challenge was to do 100 of them. I might try to do the whole lot, but maybe it will take more than a year to complete!

  11. Lovely colours. They remind me of an ex-colleague who was a great quilter. Her local library was thrilled to create a window display of her enormous quilt surrounded by craft books.
