The challenge was to use the new line of Glitz fabric somewhere in the quilt. When you signed up, they sent you 1/8 yard cuts of some of the fabric.
To be honest, the fabric isn't my favorite. It took me a long while to figure out what I wanted to do. I decided that the gold dots looked like a fifties style skirt and decided I wanted a dancing lady in the quilt. After looking online for inspiration, I decided to focus on dancing feet.
The challenge allowed you to use solids with the fabric, so I decided to make a parquet floor for my dancers out of rail fence blocks. I quilted them to look like wood flooring.
The man's shoe was super fun. I made laces out of solid fabric and used grommets to lace them. I quilted the shoe with 12 wt thread to make it look like the stitching in a man's shoe. For the lady, I kept the quilting simple, with a bit of thread painting to show shadows.
Here's the result!
