Are we on for next year Ladies?

At the moment I can't see any reason not to. 
We just need a theme.

Very happy to take part again. Rather than colour, maybe we could do a type of block: Stars , log cabin, pinwheel etc.

I would like to join in but it depends on what else is going on.  Our quilt group tutor has two things in mind for our group - some stitched cards to help raise money for a local child needing an operation in Germany and we are going to make a bookshelf quilt.

I need as much time as possible since I'm very slow - life gets in the way (well, work does anyway) -<

This morning, I read this from the Project Linus website.

Festival of Quilts Challenge 2019

The majority of children love to have bright colours in their quilts. Our theme for 2019 is to make a quilt using ONLY red, blue and yellow. The size of the quilt should be 36″ – 42″square.


Would we be interested in joining in with this?

Sounds like the theme has been chosen for us!

Actually quite a challenge to use only the three colours and to get a good balance, though if you include the tints and tones (light and dark versions of the same colour) there could be some lovely combinations.
