This is the challenge quilt from 2004-2005 that is hanging over my wing back chair. I did the top row establishing the color scheme, then it was passed to six other quilters in the group. My team assignments were Stars - Jane Howard; 9 Patch - Janice Rothlauf; Pinwheel - Jean Raiford; Square - Marti Chasler; Triangle - Pat Thompson; Paper Piecing - Sue Lauer and final row, Bow Ties - Suzanne Baulsir.
We would take the quilt for one month, and the assignment, come up with a design containing those elements, add it to the quilt and pass it along the next month. It came back to the owner the 8th month.
I am one of the few who finished the quilt, hand quilted, but I still haven't sewn the label on the back. The label is in a folder near by. Some year, I will attach it!
The actual label:
Janice has moved to Kansas. Jean had to leave the group because of medical reasons. Pat Thompson's seven grandchild was born so she turned into a full time babysitter. Sue Lauer moved to North Carolina.
We are down to ten members now so it is easier to host the monthly meetings!
