This month we had various quilting groups share about their experiences doing "Round Robin" projects with their friends. Round Robins are collaborative, but usually secret projects, made with each member of a group doing a portion of each other's quilts . The owner sets the tone of the project in their selection of fabric and the style in which they begin their first block or row. Many interesting, inspiring and creative projects were shown, as well as information about how round robins are organized.
CHALLENGE PROJECTS
Each year at our quilt guild, we have a guild challenge that member may participate in. This year the challenge was called "Everything's Coming Up Color". The challenge was to "warm up" the season with some color. To participate you brought in a fat quarter to the February meeting. Those fat quarters were placed in a bag where they were paired randomly with a crayon. All the participants took home a bag and the challenge was to create a wall hanging or quilted object that used most of the fabric and the color of the crayon needed to be dominate in the project as well.
Take a look below at some of the finished challenge entries.
Here are the winners of the challenge project in two different categories (by votes of the members).
