Wow! What a busy day we've had today. As people arrived they were instructed to take from the Gram inheritance table. I suppose about half the bits disappeared.
Then it was time to create borders for our pebbles quilt and it is just on ready for them to be added next time we meet.
We had fun looking at all the rainbow strips members have sent us so far. Keep sending them in. We each received a random bundle of 6 colours to create a rainbow quilt from.
Over lunch we discussed a set of constraints for our finished quilts:
- strip sets will only be given to people who can collect them in some way as postage of such large bundles would be too great
- do a search for 'rainbow strip quilts' to get inspiration for your finished quilt(s)
- use the strips you are given to create one or two quilts of maximum size 56" x 56". They can be smaller in either or both of these dimensions so can be square or rectangular
- strips do not have to be in rainbow order and not all strips have to be used in the same quilt
- you are free to choose your own sashing and borders, batting and backing, and quilting style
- finish your quilt however you wish then photograph it and label it before either returning it to Carlton or donating it to your favourite charity
If you have any questions please put them in the comments section below so everyone can see them.
