2022-2023 Challenges

5/19/2023

 
Our 3 "challenges" for this year wrapped up at our April 2023 guild meeting, with these projects all completed in time for our end of April Quilt Show. There was an amazing display of quilts and other items and we voted on our favourites with the winners awarded prizes.

This year we were given the opportunity to make the following guild-sponsored projects: 
  • A Block of the Month quilt
  • A Mystery Quilt
  • A challenge to making something, anything, from the leftover fabric from the Mystery Quilt.
All 3 projects were suitable for all skill levels.
Thank you and congratulations to everyone who took on these projects and a big shout out to the makers of the prize winning pieces.
Volunteers 
Emma Russell and Mary deVries did an awesome job of leading and coordinating these activities. Thank you both!

Block of the Month
This year's Block of the Month (BOM) featured 12 blocks, each finishing at 12", and each block was made from sixteen 3½” Half Square Triangles (HSTs). We made two blocks each month, with instructions for the first two being posted in August and the last two in January.
Emma and Mary brought their sample blocks to the fall in-person guild meetings. While they both used a single colour scheme - Mary's were blue, and Emma's were fall orange shades, we were encouraged to choose our own colours and use a single colour scheme like they did, or to vary our colours from block to block.
Participants assembled the blocks into the design of their choice along with borders, additional blocks, or background fabric.
​Photos of the blocks and the instructions are available here.

The winners were:
1st  Allison Kubiseski
2nd  Brenda Davidson-Payer
3rd  Mary Moss

Mystery Quilt Scrap Challenge projects

This challenge was a follow-on to the Mystery Quilt project and it was to:
"Use the scraps from your Mystery Quilt project to make something else such as a table runner or a table topper or anything of your choice."
The scraps included a number of leftover triangles and these are visible in the resulting projects.
