Potluck dinner at the LQS |
You'll remember, over the last several months, my agonizing over the border "challenge" (Head For the Border) issued by my LQS. Every month a design element and a color were each drawn, randomly, from a brown paper lunch bag and the participants set to work on that next border round, satisfying that newest criteria... it wasn't easy, but rather a true "challenge" in every sense of that word! On Thursday evening we gathered at our LQS; first, to enjoy a delicious potluck dinner, and then for the final reveal! I was impressed, a few of the quilts were already done to point of being quilted and bound... one was even hand quilted! You can click here to view a slideshow of the spectacular finished flimises, quilts and their proud creators. All in all it was a wonderful evening, yours truly even came home with a doorprize; it doesn't get much better than that... unless you keep in mind that the originators of this challenge have promised a new challenge in January of next year... I, for one, can't wait!
Life is Good!

What an amazingly diverse group of quilt tops from the SAME challenge! Beautiful!!!!!
WOW! the slide show was great. Such a variety of quilts. thanks for sharing those.
Wow--such diversity in these quilts. I never would have guessed they could have been created from the same set of guidelines. Did anyone cheat? : )
I almost burned dinner, I was so caught up in studying them.
Thank you for posting the pictures in such a good organized way. I am still amazed to see them all. Each one was great! I also had to laugh at all the quilters' postures as they described their quilts.
WOW!! Very talented quilters. I bet the potluck was as good as our Guild's potlucks. Thanks for sharing.

I am assuming that the challenge was only the color as the quilts were so beautifully different. I love the idea as it is even one you could do to yourself if you didn't have a guild to set it up for you.
What Janet O. said.....I did look for brown in all of them....I remember when you had to use that color. Not sure I found it in the pastel one....
