Plumeria ~ Flower of Sicily ~ Italian Color Builder Challenge from Curlicue Creations

This is Plumeria ~ Flower of Sicily.

Disclaimer: The products used to make this project were given to me by Island Batik and industry partners.

It's my Island Batik Ambassador challenge quilt for March. For this challenge, Aurifil thread supplied each of the Ambassadors with a Color Builders thread collection. Each collection represents a different region of Italy.

I chose Sicily Yellow, partly because my family has roots in Sicily, and partly because I love these sunny bright yellows. The three threads in this collection are 2105, 2115, and 1135. They are all 50wt cotton.

I had a tough time ...
