My guild is having a fabric challenge.  This is the fabric we received at the end of January.  It is Michael Miller Silk Road Stripe Multi.  There are three categories in the competition:  a quilt, a garment, or anything else that fits through the door.  The more I looked at the fabric, the more it reminded me of pots, specifically Mexican pots....fussy-cut Mexican pots.  My daughter, the archaeologist who studies ancient Mexican pots was all too happy to e-mail me drawings, black-and-white photos, and photocopies of pages from old tomes about Aztec and Mayan pottery.  I was off.
