I get together with my sister, her DIL, & another young lady. We meet 2 times, 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month. What we do is pick a quilt pattern and we each choose the materials we want to use. We try to stay on the same page so that everyones project is basically finished at the same time. Last year I believe we finished about 5 quilts each. At the beginning we did brunch but that just got in the way of our projects. The group, all except for me had never quilted before. What is nice is the group survived its first year and we are meeting again this year. I hope this gave you some idea as to what you can do in a group.
