Chookshed Challenge #10 - April - Chapel Street Top

The wonderful Chooky "enabled" me down this rabbit hole . . .

It started in 2023 and I haven't blogged about it very much - apart from here (May 2025) when Chookshed Challenge #8 was to make progress on Chapel Street.

At the time it looked like this:



My design wall is just too small!!!!.  
The bottom picture is the bottom of the quilt, and the plan was to finish the colour wash with heading to blacks in the right-hand corner.


So, here is the top...Chookshed Challenge #10 completed.
I am thinking I will add a black border of 2 or 3", depending on the quantity of black I have left, then a wider border of fabrics used in the quilt.  A project for another day.



It's not a great picture - the holder upperer was not up to much.

Thanks Deana, for pushing us along.....I got to a point where - without the Challenge deadline I would have put it aside....I think most of you know that problem.

What will May challenge me with????  (7 or 9 would be OK...LOL)


PS:   I am trying to reply to each comment, but if I missed yours - many apologies!

    Looks good. I do like the colourwash. Hmm, I'm probably right in thinking that your version is a lot farther on than Chookys. LOL

    Beautiful colour wash ... congrats on challenge met.
    I know exactly what you mean ... I shudder to think how many projects would still be laying around without this challenge.

    Well done on your great progress.
    The colour wash looks lovely made we think it would also look good in the Simple Serene?
