Traveling quilt
 

I am a member of a Modern Quilt Guild here in Maine. In 2018 we participated in a “traveling quilt” project where I made my first block and journaled about my quilting inspiration and then the quilt was passed to a different member each month who then added a block or section to my quilt. Some of it had been pieced but some blocks were left loose so I finally (like a jigsaw puzzle) put it all together. I just took it off the longarm after nearly 10 days of ruler work and some FMQ and rolling it back and forth. It is the first time I attached the binding on the longarm too, now I just have to hand stitch it to the back. [ATTACH=CONFIG]619065[/ATTACH]

I bet this was a fun project shared among your MQG - did each member pass along their own 'traveling quilt'? I so love the cheerfulness and randomness of the design/layout and you look to be having a lot of fun on your Q, too!

Fabulous finish :)

How. I hope fun that must have been!

That is some collaboration. wonderful quilt!! :thumbup:

This looks to be a fun and memory filled quilt. The journey will be well remembered for many years to come. Beautiful quilt.

Your quilt is so eclectic. It does give the impression that all the participants focused on the journey and Created an amazing destination.:D

Great quilt and colors.

Where is the final journey for a traveling quilt? The quilt is very inspirational.

that is just so cool! I'm becoming more and more modern in my quilts--trying to use up some of my more traditional fabrics now for Christmas presents so I have space for more modern fabrics!

J, that's a wonderful quilt!!!!!!! And the sentiment is just awesome. That's how I try to live! (most days haha)

What a great quilt, using so many blocks and strips and yet it all is coordinating.

yes, Christine, each member that participated ended up with a traveling quilt of their own. Each one was so different based on their “theme” or prompt.

That is such a darling quilt. Love all the colors and it beams happy all over.

That quilt is just so happy … great job!

what a wonderful, different quilt. i love your idea. very inspirational quilt.

Jmoore, it is fabulous. I love the collaboration. What a fun quilt and a fun memory!

Looks like it was a fun project. The quilt is beautiful.

It was a fun group project and there are so many creative and talented quilters...thank you for all your nice responses.

Interesting concept and great quilt! You did a nice job quilting it!

So cool! Thank you for sharing

Sounds like a lot of fun to do and your quilt turned out so nice. I guess this is something like a Round Robin quilt. You did a great job on placing the blocks that were left loose.

I can only respond by saying they are improv and not traditional blocks. 🙃

What a fascinating quilt! It also took a very interesting journey!

That looks like a fun collaborative project! The quilt turned out great.

Love this quilt! It all came together beautifully! I was one of three gals who created a round robin quilt. It traveled to three different states. That was a lot of fun, but yours is fantastic!

That is great! Such a fun idea.

What a fun quilt this is! 👍🏼
