For their 2009 quilt challenge, the Juniper Berries quilt group in Sisters, OR, put together some fabulous quilts following some very simple guidelines. Here are the rules they followed:
- Each participating member offered a theme, color scheme and some fabric choices for her quilt.
- She put them in a box with one completed row.
- Each month the box/quilt would be passed on to another member for them to create a complimentary row.
- The boxes/quilts were passed each month till every participant had a created a row.
- Then when the box/quilt was returned to the originator (12+months later) - they had the honor of putting the rows together in whatever way they choose.
Wouldn't this be a great idea for your small quilt group or guild?
Here are just a few of the quilts they created. They are so diverse, doesn't it get your creative juices flowing?
