It is time for this month's Le Challenge project and the theme is "era". Once again, this challenge has theme's that I find challenging.
My first thoughts on this "era" theme was using 30's reproduction fabrics, civil war fabrics, or making a crazy quilt from the Victorian era. But then I started looking at mid-century modern art and knew this was the time period I really wanted to work with.

The inspiration for my mini quilt was the Unparalleled Quilt lesson from the Craftsy Improvisational Piecing Modern Design class. I really did enjoy working on this project. Just cutting at will and designing the piece as I went along was a very freeing way to work.
It was also a nice change to work on something new, since 2014 has been my year to tackle my WIPs and scraps.
Please check out the other "era" themed entries at Le Challenge.
I love it! You usually come up with something completely brilliant for Le Challenge, and this is no exception, well done.
