Our quilt group of 12 did a "SHOE BOX" quilt. We each purchased (3 yards) focus fabric and (1 1/2 yds each) of 3 different coordinates to match. Place the fabric in a box (we used clear plastic bin) Put our name at the top in bold and everyone else's name under yours. We then passed our box to another person in the group to make us a 12 1/2" block of their choice. When you compete your block, pin your name to the back, then put a circle around your name and pass the box on to another person who's name has not been circled. We gave no time limit, but everyone was anxious to move forward so about every week we passed these around till all the names were circled. Then the box went back to the original person. Now you have blocks from all of your friends and they are in the exact colors you love. When you put it together - what a special quilt you have from your friends! This was a big hit in our quilt group. Beginner quilters did really simple blocks while others did at their own skill levels so there was no pressure on anyone. Just have fun!
