Some Challenge Quilts for our Quilt Shows

Each spring for the past few years, our guild has had a quilt show and each fall there is a challenge issued which you may take or not. During the show, the group of challenge quilts are displayed together and there are some really great, clever quilts. Here are mine:

This was 2008 - I got the cart before the horse - the challenge was dots.

This year, we each drew a card and had to make a wallhanging of that card. I did the 5 of hearts.

I think this was 2007 - Old McDonaldKind of a south of the border Fiesta. Stars Log Cabin.

I think this was all of them - but it's a good idea of what we did. Our playing cards will be exhibited at the Michigan Quilter's Network Show this fall. It was really a fun display.

A Baby Quilt From Long Ago

This quilt was made sometime in the 1980's from a pattern in a magazine. I scanned the picture but the quality of the photo wasn't very good. The teddies are satin stitch applique by machine and it is quilted by hand. (Click to enlarge)
