Everyone participating chips in 1 yard of fabric and the color must be season related. Thats why my quilt has all fall colors. The cutters cut each yard into however many ladies are playing. In our case it's around 20. Everyone gets a portion of everyones else's fabric. The challenge is that you must use every fabric contributed somewhere in the quilt. You can use as much of your own as you want Plus you can use one other fabric of your choice. My choice in that quilt was the background. It cannot exceed 18 x 22 inches all around.
I am nearly done with my winter quilt and will post it Jan. 6th.
