The Lynn White Challenge

Boat Blossoms

I am lucky enough to belong to a small group of Art Quilters. We meet each month and explore new techniques, tools and ideas. We share each others current work. Recently, one of our members issued a challenge to all of us. 
Bring 4-5 of your UGLIEST cotton fabrics (8" x 8") to the next meeting. We all brought fabrics we had found difficult to work into our current designs. We put them into a bag and each person had to pick out 4 fabrics that were NOT their own. We had to take them home to create a quilt out of these scraps.  All of the fabrics had to be at least recognizable in the finished quilt. 

                                     12" x 17"  Cotton and hand beaded. Machine quilted.
