Migration brought to mind the normal thoughts of birds, butterflies and people, but nothing was popping for me and I did one with flying geese in the first year for "South". This one needed to be new and colorful. I realized that the one thing I have experience with is fabric. I made up this game in the 11"x14" format.
Now you have a stash of fabric that goes on to the next part of its journey. Cutting it up to make a beautiful quilt. Moving on down the game we chain stitch as many pieces together to make the quilt come together quickly. Once we have our block made we share those little accomplishments with our friends in many ways. Quilt retreats, quilting bees, or online. Then we finally have the fabric in its grandest form, a QUILT! That is a win!
To make this little quilt I went on the hunt for fabric that would show the moves on the game board. The cute characters with the quilt steps all come from a piece of fabric that I had a tiny bit leftover from years ago. It is similar to Lorelie Design fabrics, but I don't believe it was hers. I have such a small amount of it and no selvage to see who the real artist is. If anyone knows I would love to credit her.
The only pieces that I didn't find printed on fabric were the quilt shop that looks like a cute mushroom to me and the quilt show banner. The bookshelf was a stripe fabric and I found smaller striped fabrics that I cut into little squares to look like fabric. The stripe fabric is all together in the photo.
The chain stitched blocks and block next to the sewing machine were cut from a piece of Mary Engelbreit fabric that had little quilts on them. Those pieces were just part of a border around the center design. The washer and dryer I made real simple by cutting a circle for the dryer out of the orange circle fabric I had leftover from the word "Translate". It was a fun time of discovery in my quilt stash. I hope you enjoy finding where all the pieces came from in the photo.
