To mark the occasion of the 10th Anniversary of the Cherrywood Challenge, we are taking a DEEP DIVE into the murky blues and bright aquas of the deep sea. We have included six “droplets” of color to add to the mysterious sparkles found in the creatures of your imagination.

This kit includes the instructions for the challenge, including how to submit your quilt.

The Fat Quarter has Six main colors with 6 “droplet” colors.

The Half Yard has Six main color with 12 “droplet” colors.

The droplets are 7 inches by 10 inches.

Use just these SIX COLORS to create an original 20 inch square quilted work of art. No other colors of fabric other than the droplet colors may be added. The only way to add more colors is with thread, paint, pencil, ink, beads etc.
