Our quilt group will have its tri-ennial exhibition from 23- 25 October in the Landmark Centre in Teddington. We always try to have at least one group challenge to display, and have successfully had Round Robin challenges in the past. I blogged in 2014 about my challenge to the group and the quilt above is the result. No new fabrics bought, all from stash, or contributed by participants.
I have used this piece to practise several different quilting patterns and am very pleased with how it has turned out, (46 x 46 inches).
Border quilting with machine embroidered binding
Mixed designs in one block.
Superb applique dragon by one of the participants (thanks, Kay!) with flame quilting and geometric continuous pattern in the sashing to tone down the black
Feathers and stipple - always useful.
I gave participants these web sites as resources for the design of flags.
