What's it about?
Its a fun challenge project that quilters of any level can participate in. The quilts can be as simple or as advanced as the quilter chooses. It will be so fun to see the creativity of each of our members!
Instructions:
- Place 6 coordinating fat quarters in a small brown lunch bag. **
Please use 100% cotton quilting fabric, pre-washed.
Brown lunch bags will be provided at the May meeting. If you are unable to attend the May meeting, you may provide your own brown lunch bag or can contact Kristy. - Bring your bag of 6 FQ’s to the June 8, 2009 Arlington QU meeting.**
Keep your bag anonymous – no names, no markings. Bags will be anonymously swapped with participating members. - Take your bag of tasty fabric “treats” home and begin cooking up a spectacular quilt! You can use any recipe (pattern or design) of your choice.
- You must use at least a 6 ½” square of each FQ provided on the front of the quilt. (The 6 ½” square can be divided into smaller pieces.) You can also add fabrics from your own stash.
- Quilts can range in size from a wall hanging to a bed quilt - minimum 18”x18”, maximum 115” x 115” (largest acceptable for quilt show).
- Complete your quilt by the January 2010 meeting. It must be “quilt show ready” by this meeting in order to show your challenge quilt in the 2010 QU Quilt Show. It would be great to show off our challenge quilts at the show!
- Also bring to the Jan 2010 meeting a note card with a small snippet of each of the 6 FQ fabrics you received attached to the card.
- Do not show the FQ’s you bring, the FQ’s you receive, or your project at any point in the process to any guild members until the January meeting when we will unveil our scrumptious creations!
**If you can't make it to the May (already gone by!) or the June meeting, contact Kristy.
