Twelve 12 x 12's done!




Material Maven member Nedra & I co-chaired a twelve month, 12 x 12 challenge for our small ( 50 member ) guild which ended last week with a display of the quilts. Unfortunately, we didn't inspire many to participate, but those who did, really enjoyed the process. Above are the photos of my quilts.

Here's are the themes for the 12 quilts:


[Incidentally, the first photo should have been the last one!]
