This time Trish went all out and wrote: \u201cThis is this week\u2019s challenge: make anything you can imagine \u2013 but do not use square shapes\u2026 This means you can work with rectangles, hexagons, diamonds, equilateral triangles, circles, braids and a whole universe of irregular shapes. You can even create a landscape. But whatever you do, don\u2019t make your project square. And don\u2019t sew a square!\u201d That\u2019s the instruction on the page for Season 14 of Project QUILTING<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For me, it\u2019s a fantastic challenge. I immediately came up with the idea of sewing an Easter card. I know, I know \u2013 Easter is still far away, but this is the only moment when I have a bit of free time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, paper design first, that I printed out.  I wanted the card to be 19,5 cm.  This time, instead of a rectangle, it will be in the shape of an egg.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Next, I copied the individual elements onto double sided fusible web. I\u2019m so glad someone invented it.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I cut them out and started to look for scraps, that will fit my project.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

For the egg, I chose a hand dyed fabric with a marbled pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the inside, I put a thin cotton batting and glued an egg on it. For the back, I used a stiff non-woven fabric with glue. I glued two layers of fleece, one on top of the other, to the bottom of my batting. This made my egg stiff.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I evened out my egg and stitched with a zig-zag, with Isacord threads. Additionally, I also used a decorating stich that is in my sewing machine.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Then I moved on to the flowers. I placed the individual parts on baking paper and glued them.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

 I cut out the center of my little flower from the fabric into small rectangles.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I transferred my little flowers onto the egg and glued them on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I remembered to protect the parts protruding from behind the egg by gluing fabrics in the right color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I painted the back side with ball pen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I remember when my children brought home colored Easter eggs from school. So, I wanted my egg to look like it was colored by a child.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

While taking pictures, I noticed that if I would have  glued an eye on an Easter egg, a chicken would come out.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I really like the end result and there are no squares anywhere. Neither in front nor back.<\/p>\n\n\n
