March Meeting Recap

String Theory, our January challenge produced some really stunning entries, 15 of them! So many interesting and unique takes on Modern String Quilts.

Each entrant talked about what was modern in their quilt, what string technique they used, what they did that was new to them, and what they discovered in the process.  A very successful challenge, all the quilts were winners!
