Our local quilt shop is doing something similiar to this called the "Nine Patch Quilt Along." You make a 9 patch of any size and type each day in month of August. You take the month of September to make the blocks into a quilt top. On October 2nd you bring your quilt or quilt top into the shop for a show and tell event. People who live too far to come in can post a picture of their's on the website. I like the idea cause it's something everyone can do, regardless of skill level. They are running a blog throughout through which people can give updates on their progress if they want.
