Thanks to all...

There are some base rule for a Paint Chip Challenge, but I've seen several groups now putting their own spin on them which just makes them more fun.

I honestly hope EVERY quilt group will try this once. I don't think I've ever seen our group laugh harder or be more enthusiastic.

Very cute, I love what you did with the yo-yo's
I had never heard of a paint chip challenge, How does it work?
I see you had 3 paint chips attached to your quilt.

You start with your initials. First-middle-last. You take those initials and THAT'S the color paint chips you must find to create your mini quilt with. Part of the challenge is that you have to find a way to attach the paint chips (with color names showing) to your project. Only one lady forgot. The other 6 mini-quilts do have the chips attached in various ways.

I have the instructions in a file if you'd like them (PM me). We got the idea from a neighboring quilt group,and when I asked if they minded if we borrowed the idea for our quilt group she laughed and said "Why not? We got it from someone else too!"..lol.

Cute idea. I was trying to think of the colors that would work for my name so I googled and found a chart for Crayola colors. You could get just about anything you want with those color names. :)
