Annie and Lyn recently brought their
shirt challenge quilts in to show us and we were so impressed we all wanted a go! So Annie and Lyn kindly organised challenge No.2 for us. Over the last few weeks we've been scouring the local op shops (or not so local!) for 100% cotton shirts and last night we cut them up into sections, those sections were mixed up and divided into many piles and put into bags, beautifully decorated with a shirt appliqué. We then all took turns to choose a card bearing a tie and the fabric swatch hidden underneath the tie matched one of the shirts on the bags. It was so exciting wondering what fabric we'd all end up with!

Busy group!

Rules
- Use as much shirt fabric as you can for the front of the quilt.
- If you wish, you may add ONE other fabric of your choice to help tie the shirt fabrics together - the amount can be as much or as little as you want.
- There is to be no dying of fabrics, however you may reverse the shirt fabrics if you prefer the other side.
- Backing will be a fabric of your choice.
- Binding will be a fabric of your choice.
- Completion time : date to be advised in August 2013.
Have fun everyone!
