Stars Quiltlets Challenge 2014
The Stars Quiltlet Collection
If you enjoyed seeing the quiltlets being made each month last year and felt inspired now is your chance to get sewing! From September 2014, Village Green Quilters are challenged to making one small quilt each month using stars as the theme. The idea behind this project is the opportunity to try out new techniques, ideas, products and materials without committing to a huge expense. It is also a license to play and experiment!
Some members will relish the opportunity to make a tiny work of art, others will love just making samples of ideas they have. There is no right or wrong, just hours of pleasure and fun!
Each month, bring your completed quiltlet to the meeting for others to see and to be photographed; the VGQ web site will feature a gallery of that month’s quiltlets.
Size: 9 inch square
Try and keep the size as accurate as possible otherwise your quilts will not hang together should you wish to exhibit them.
Theme: Stars - traditional blocks, printed, quilted, appliqué, pop stars astrological, film stars, twinkle. What every shines for you - make it!
Technique: Any technique is permissible. It must consist of 3 layers and be finished neatly and in keeping with your style of quilt. If you would like to join the squares together at the end of the project, simply trim the blocks neatly to 9 1/2 inches (remember - you will need a seam allowance!) and then use the quilt-as-you-go method to assemble the quilt.
Don’t forget: Please bring your completed quiltlet to each meeting and make sure you put your name and month on the back of each quilt!
