Challenge
Quilts
Mannin
Quilters have have created their own
challenge. Each challenge lasts for three months, hence the title 'Quilt Quarters'.
There have been various subjects each lasting 3 months and culminating an a "Show and Tell".
If you have missed
out on any of the subjects that have been tackled by the
group it is never too late to have a go and everyone
would be delighted to see your work at any
time.
The rules
for a challenge are very simple:
-
This is
a challenge, not a competition, so although we will be
working on our own individual pieces, there is no reason why
we should not communicate with each other as we work
!
-
Working
to a given title or theme, produce an A3 size quilt which
may be displayed in either landscape or portrait
format.
-
Quilts
should normally be produced within three
months.
At the
2009 Loch Lomond Quilt Show, there was a selection of small
quilts exhibited by a group of 6 quilters who took part in a
monthly challenge, working to a chosen theme and producing
individual pieces of work. The resulting quilts were
beautiful and inspirational and looked stunning when displayed
together.
The
challenge began at the start of 2011 and some of the
completed challenge quilts are pictured below, grouped by
title. Click on a picture to view a larger image.
