Our meeting activity was a fabric swap. Participant gave and selected fabric for 12” x 12” mini quilts, to be displayed at the next meeting. Take inspiration from the fabric you selected, and include it in the quilt. You keep the quilt.
MODERN QUILT GUILD COMMUNITY CHALLENGE QUILT
The theme this year is HSTs. We are going to do an improv quilt. Meeting members chose the “Misty” fabric palette. We will order fabric. Next month, participants will select 3 fat quarters to work with. We will provide some additional instructions/guidelines. Blocks must be completed by August. We need to take a photo of the completed top in September.
