2014 Challenge Quilts
During our July 2013 meeting, envelopes with numbers on them were distributed. Each person wanting to participate took an envelope and wrote their number on a sheet of paper that was also passed around. Inside the envelope was the name of a quilt block. The challenge was to make a quilt with the sides no smaller than 20 inches and no larger than 30 inches. Participants were not to piece the named block, but to make a quilt using a play on the quilt block name.
