Quilt Shop, the Stitchin' Post and Quilters' Affair, and closer to home

CMQG 2020 Color Wheel Challenge
Here are the guidelines:
All fabrics in your quilt must be solid in color, with no design or pattern.
Choose a solid color as your main focal color, then use its complementary and two of its analogous colors, along with a neutral color of your choice (grey, white, cream, tan or black). All fabric must be solids. Use your main focal color at least twice as much as all the others.
Mini quilts must be sewn, quilted, and bound. They should be no smaller than 20"x20" and not larger than 36"x36".
Every guild member who completes a mini quilt, follows these guidelines, and shows the quilt during our August 13th Zoom Meeting will be entered into a drawing for prizes. Grand prize is a stack of 25 Kona Cotton fat quarter solids!!
There are NO judges, so have fun and create your best work! This challenge is voluntary and for personal growth only -- to apply what you've learned and increase your skills. So get creative! Make it modern!
