We are a group of 12 keen patchwork, quilters and craft lovers. Over the next 24 months we will each make a quilt 12" x 12" all on the same selected theme. We will use this blog to share with each other and aswell as the public what we are doing on our journey. Good luck to everyone and let the fun begin!

recycled
Been to Gordon Harris, raided the shed, raided the stash - can see a direction taking place. Think I'm under way. This theme is creating interesting colours for me. Not ones I usually use. Happy creating everyone.

Family show and tell
I don't know if I can take this any more!! THESE ARE AMAZING! I keep being blown away with ever ones wonderful pieces of art they keep coming up with.
Our next word has been chosen by Maree and it is....Recycled... Can't wait to see what everyone comes up with. Here are the photos from our Family challenge.
P.S. Maree Schroder I need to explain mine to you. You missed a bit of news while you have been gone :)

Yes Get on with it!!
Ha I'm the same as Ashleigh, although I have stuck with my initial idea, i just need to get sewing!I have done some initial prep of pieces which are my main focus points but am really worried they will be too big for a 12x12 to look as I wanted them to!Eek...it might look even simpler than I had initially thought!Ha definitely a challenge!!
The international challenge group have now posted their next colourplay 12x12 using the colour Spice - some interesting quilts & some even more interesting explanations of how they designed their quilts!!! http://twelveby12.blogspot.com/ Squares seem to always get me so I really like Kirsten & Gerrie's quilts with their lovely bright colours, & Helen's.Also the landscape done by Francoise & the simplicity of Diane's Burst of Flavour....well & .....I could probably just about list them all! Some interesting ideas & techniques!

time to get onto it
After a few two many thoughts of what I will do for family and none of them seeming to work, I have now decided that I have to bite the bullet and just start on something. I think I have a good idea so will make it my long weekend project.

Family
Well Ashleigh this one has thrown me. My family, any family a family of animals .... My head is a jumble of ideas. Think I will be sketching for quite a long time to get my ideas workable.
Looking forward to catching up with everyone over some fiberlicilous quilts. Was quite weary of this in the beginning but now really happy with my end result.
Hope everyone else is progressing well and happy with their results.
