IC118 ~ Double Irish Chain Shamrock Quilt {03-08-08}
Inspiration Challenge 118 ~ Double Irish Chain Shamrock Quilt
This week’s inspiration piece is this beautifully detailed Double Irish Chain Shamrock Quilt. If you click through the website, there are additional close-up pictures of some of the individual design elements. Remember, you don’t have to make a St. Patrick’s Day card … let your inspiration journey take you wherever it wants to go.
Thanks for the fabulous participation in last week’s challenge, especially to all of you first time IC’ers … can’t wait to see what you come up with this week.
Make sure you use the keyword: IC118 (no spaces or extra characters) when you upload your card.
My sample ~ Good Luck Shamrock
IC118 Gallery
How to Play ~ View the attached image. You may be inspired to recreate the piece ~ but that isn't necessary ... get your inspiration from the colors, layout, style or 'theme'. Just enjoy wherever your inspired creative journey takes you. Make the inspiration piece your own. Don't worry ~ no card is 'wrong' and there is no time limit for uploading your card for the challenge. There are no rules, so let your creative juices run wild ~ be *inspired* and go get stamping!
Don't forget about No Upload Sunday - Let's give the gallery moderators a day off and not upload on Sunday (unless, of course, you are a Fan Club member - yet another reason to spend a little money on your favorite site). Thank you for joining me on this inspiration journey.

What an awesome challenge, Stef! I was a quilter before I was a stamper. Nice flashback.
I picked green of course and the diagonal lines for my inspiration.

I totally love quilts and quilting!!! I used to quilt with my grandmother when I was a kid...many, many moons ago. The irony is, I do not know my way around a sewing machine because we did it all by hand. Anyways, enough rambling and reminiscing...I created a card about a month ago that was inspired by a quilt I saw. The colors do not match the challenge image, but I thought I would share it anyway.
Here it is: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ga...&ppuser=155167
I'm hoping to make another using a springtime theme.
