Thread: Ideas for quilt group challenges

I wouldn't propose challenges with a mandatory fabric. Either the guild has to buy assigned fabric and charge members for it, or the members have to go buy it on their own. Either way, they are forced to pay something in order to participate and often have to create something out of fabric they dislike.

For a challenge, I think I could put up with most fabrics and most colors. Even pink! Specially if I had one assigned fabric and got to add at least one of my choice.

I was hoping to come up with some interesting group challenges and I am thinking that this would be the best place to ask if anyone can help me come up with some different challenges.

One I had in mind was for the members to make an item of their choice - be it from a mug rug to a king size quilt - but the challenge is the main/focus fabric had to be a colour starting with the same letter as their christian name. ie Maureen would use mauve or maroon or she could be creative and use brown and call it mud or orange and call it marmalade. What would you think if you were presented with such a challenge - thumbs up /down.

I would be very grateful for any input from you very talented ladies. Thank you.

Sounds like fun. I'd be doing Aqua and purple for mine. Maybe AZURE, too.
