I don't normally participate in challenges, but the one we're doing this year sounded really fun so I joined.
It's a very relaxed and mellow challenge. We put some money in a pot and bought a couple of bolts of one print of fabric. Each member gets at least 1 yard, although some of us requested 2 or 3 yards.
The rules:
The item we make must be a quilt. No bags, jackets, etc.
The fabric MUST be recognizable in the quilt. It can't be cut so small that no one can pick it out.
The perimeter of the quilt cannot be more than 200" around. (Quilts are to be lap/crib/wallhanging size.)
Each participating member will put $5 into a kitty. Quilts will be revealed and voting of "Best of Show" quilt will commence at the Christmas gift exchange/meeting next December. Winning quilt gets the kitty.
Since we all have different tastes, I'm pretty excited to see what each of us comes up with!
