Guild challenge project

or what to do with someone else's abandoned,fabric or project...



We recently had a "pig in a poke" challenge at our quilt guild. Let me explain. The assignment was  to bring in a project or some fabric you abandoned,Project In Grocery bag(P.I.G.),  to be placed in an identical brown paper bag("poke" in this part of the country!) and then exchange bags with other guild members. The challenge was then to make something out of it and bring it to show in  3 months at another guild meeting.

Here is what I received. Some fabric with bugs on it and a few unfinished kaleidoscope blocks.

....after much contemplation,here is what I came up with. A baby quilt!

I quilted it on my sewing machine( out of my comfort zone,because I enjoy hand quilting)I was pleased with how it turned out.
 Now I just have to bind it.
