Promoting the Art of Quilting
2011 President’s Challenge
“Simply Charming Darling”
Sondra Reich
Things you need to know….
Color: Select a single paint chip from the coordinated color “blue” bag, or if you are up for a real challenge select 3 from the challenging “red” bag. If you cannot make it to a meeting but want to join in on the fun get your own paint chip at any paint store.…. You may add 1-3 additional colors. However, the 3 paint chips must be the dominate colors ~ 75% of your entire project!
Using your selected colors. Purchase a charm pack or create your own using your stash/cut into 5 x 5 squares. Your project will only be made out of 5” squares. You may cut them or alter them to any shape you wish. However, each piece in the quilt top will begin as a
5” square. This does not include the border it may be any shape or size.
Theme: What represents “charming” to
you? Ie: a tea party, hat and gloves,
kindness?
Techniques: Use whatever you want….
foundation, snippets, traditional
block… it really doesn’t matter, be-
cause it is your choice.
Size: No smaller than 72” perimeter
and no larger than 160” perimeter.
Examples: smallest could be 18”x18”
which equals 72”, largest would be
40” x 40”. If you would want to
make a table runner let’s say it would
be 18” x 36” which would equal 108”,
which is within the size range.
Work at your own pace and have fun
you have plenty of time,
Reveal is the June 2012 meeting.
We all looking forward to viewing your special creation!
