Fun project for 2018
What would be a fun project for our small quilt group, of ten women, to do this year?? We meet weekly at my house. And are looking for ideas of what others do as a group.
We did a shoe box quilt last year and that was fun. The year before we did a mystery quilt. So something along those lines would be great. Any ideas would be very much appreciated.

There are eight ladies in my group, one year we decided to make a "house" quilt and swap blocks with each other. So I made 8 blocks with the same pattern but colours that I thought each person would like and added embellishments. A few people asked for one colour sky and they gave each of us a piece, I decided to give everyone a piece of the grey mottled fabric to include a small piece at least in each of the blocks. It was fun, one lady made an outhouse, one lady a log cabin; one has 3 birdhouses in it; one is a barn, one is an old school; the bottom row has quilt shops. The ninth block we got our group picture and transferred it to fabric and I appliquéd our little logo of a ladybug crawling out of a thimble. Each of us ended up with a similar but unique wallhanging. Here is mine. [ATTACH=CONFIG]585940[/ATTACH]

Another year we decided to make blocks for each other. We each chose what pattern and colours we wanted; then we chose names to see who would go first, etc. I chose the Jewel Box pattern in greens, reds, lights -- all scrappy. Here is a picture of mine. [ATTACH=CONFIG]585941[/ATTACH]
One lady chose the Dresden Plate, so when it was her turn we all made blocks for her. We decided how large of a quilt we would make and then asked for that many blocks from our friends. We all made large quilts.

On a slightly different note. The group I just joined, all the ladies have Singer Featherweights so they each made a quilted carrying case for them last year. I just saw the pattern the other day but I can't remember where.

One of the groups I am in is doing a traveling quilt...each person started with a theme and a notebook about what kind of quilter they are...modern/traditional and colors they enjoy etc... We each made our first block and then passed it onto the next person. It has been a lot of fun to see what has been created each month to the quilts and it has been a great way to get to know the group.
