About a month ago, Janet Wickell at About.com issued her Arizona Challenge. A few days after that, she provided Through the Windows, a pattern she had created based on inspiration from a carpet! The photo here to the left is my version of her pattern and my entry into the challenge. You can see other entries in the Arizona Challenge Gallery.I had been collecting southwestern-themed fabrics for quite a while. I wanted a quilt with Kokopelli. The border next to the black has Kokopellis marching along it. And I just love the turquoise! And I have even more southwest and Kokopelli fabrics!
Luckily I was on a four-week break, so I was able to start and finish the top. I think it's the best quilt top I've made so far in my short 4-year quilting career. The top is enough to meet the challenge's January 15 deadline. I think this may be my first quilt that I send out to a professional longarm quilter.
Why don't you join the challenge too?!

Thank you! It came from About.com years ago. That site has changed a bit, but I think the pattern is at http://quilting.about.com/od/foundationpiecing/ss/through_windows.htm now.
