Improv Challenge
Improv Processes:
1. Purchased patterns or designs
-change up fabrics, colors, change layout
or size, maybe secondary patterns, change size of design, make only one block
and so on.
2. No Plan: Create shapes and odd
sized pieces, strips etc…
-work out sections and build the piece up
with no particular outcome
(Sherri Lynn Wood’s flexible patterning -
“Yes, and”- philosophy)
3. With intent
-design blocks, shapes etc with a plan for
placement, size or finish for the most part
4. Inspired by something in nature, photograph
or emotion
-work to recreate it or small portion of
it (leaning towards art quilts) and can fall into any of the above.
The challenge:
- Make a quilt at least 80 inches perimeter.
- Choose one of the 4 improv processes above.
- Due April meeting (Apr 25).

Paint Chip Challenge 2020
Welcome to the Paint Chip Challenge!
The challenge is to make a quilt with three colors alone. No neutrals (blacks, grays, whites, tans, beiges). Pick one of the the six groups below.
How to do it:
1. We have 3 paint chips grouped and assigned numbers 1-6.
2. Pick one of these groups of 3 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6). We were going to assign them, but decided that we should have people pick to ensure you had the colors at home.
3. Match these colors with your stash the best you can. Variations in hue are fine.
4. Make a quilt that is a minimum of 24 inches square in or a maximum of lap-sized (you determine whose lap).
5. Use any modern technique.
6. Show your finished quilt by June, 2020

This challenge has no rules...YEAH...except you must bring your completed quilt to the October 30th meeting, quilted and bound. That's it.
