A few days ago, I posted about the Paint Chip Challenge our Guild did.

This is my table runner.

Each participating member did a blind draw for a paint chip.
![OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA](https://annalenaland.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/pcc031-450x337.jpg)
The goal was to make something using the colors in your chip, like this gorgeous Hawaiian wall hanging Doris made!
![OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA](https://annalenaland.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/pcc041-450x381.jpg)
You were supposed to use three of the four colors on your chip.

How adorable are these elephants!?!

Renee made this.

You could add white to your palette.

Like Cherry did with this pretty pillow.

Or, you could add black.

Like Jan did to embellish her vest.
![OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA](https://annalenaland.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/pcc351-263x450.jpg)
Some people were able to find a single fabric that had more than one of the paint chip’s colors in it.

Terri made this.
![OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA](https://annalenaland.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/pcc111-450x447.jpg)
The stipes in this border look great against the chip!
![OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA](https://annalenaland.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/pcc121-450x337.jpg)
Peggy’s quilt had a whole story to tell.
![OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA](https://annalenaland.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/pcc13-450x390.jpg)
And the back is adorable. There’s even a hidden pocket!
![OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA](https://annalenaland.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/pcc14-400x450.jpg)
Participants had no idea what color they would get.
![OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA](https://annalenaland.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/pcc15-450x337.jpg)
Nellie had yellows and made a cute table runner.
![OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA](https://annalenaland.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/pcc16-281x450.jpg)
Audrey had golds.
![OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA](https://annalenaland.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/pcc17-450x337.jpg)
She went the table runner route, too!
![OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA](https://annalenaland.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/pcc18-207x450.jpg)
It was harder than you’d think to find just the right shades to match the chips.
![OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA](https://annalenaland.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/pcc19-450x337.jpg)
Dianne’s adorable piece showed Sunbonnet Sue on vacation in Europe, and what a vacation it was! She swam the English Channel, picked lavender in Provence, went nude sunbathing in St. Tropez, and took a steam bath in Baden Baden. Wow, I want to travel with her!
![OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA](https://annalenaland.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/pcc20-152x450.jpg)
Kathy resorted to dying her own fabric!
![OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA](https://annalenaland.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/pcc21-450x337.jpg)
She made this clever purse.
![OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA](https://annalenaland.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/pcc22-295x450.jpg)
The stripes in this border fabric had all the right colors!
![OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA](https://annalenaland.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/pcc23-450x337.jpg)
I love Bev’s seashells in the attic windows setting.
![OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA](https://annalenaland.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/pcc24-369x450.jpg)
Here’s another one with black.

Jo’s quilt was really striking, and the quilting was great.
![OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA](https://annalenaland.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/pcc26-374x450.jpg)
You can’t go wrong with feathers and a scalloped edge!
![OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA](https://annalenaland.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/pcc27-450x337.jpg)
Lynda made this radiant start quilt.
![OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA](https://annalenaland.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/pcc28-450x427.jpg)
Oh, can you say Kermit?
![OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA](https://annalenaland.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/pcc29-450x337.jpg)
That’s what Earlene thought of when she saw her paint chip!
![OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA](https://annalenaland.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/pcc30-298x450.jpg)
Wow, imagine finding a single fabric that had all the colors!
![OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA](https://annalenaland.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/pcc31-450x337.jpg)
Gerri turned it into this sweet apron.
![OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA](https://annalenaland.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/pcc32-357x450.jpg)
Dee also found a print that worked with her chip.
![OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA](https://annalenaland.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/pcc33-450x337.jpg)
She made an adorable apron with cross-stitch embellishments on it.
![a2](https://annalenaland.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/a22-450x348.jpg)
I didn’t get a snap of Janet’s paint chip, but her apron sure turned out cute.
![OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA](https://annalenaland.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/pcc36-450x430.jpg)
Glennys’ giant dahlia quilt was one of two winners.
![OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA](https://annalenaland.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/pcc37-430x450.jpg)
The other was Dixie’s lavender cat. Both of them were whisked away before I got a picture of their paint chips, but believe me, they did a great job of matching their fabrics to their paint chips.
![OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA](https://annalenaland.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/pcc38-450x344.jpg)
Here are some great neutrals.
![OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA](https://annalenaland.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/pcc39-450x337.jpg)
Alas, I don’t know who made this great Quilter’s Roll. Can someone tell me, please?

The whole challenge was great fun and the quilts will all be displayed at the Peninsula Quilt Guild Show in March.
