[Oceanwavequilters] 2021 Challenge Reminder.

[Daisy Woodhams]

Just a reminder about the 2021 UFO Challenge which ends June 30.  And, it is not just UFO’s (which includes things other than quilts), but new techniques, and using stash.   The complete “rules” are below.    Remember to include your Challenge entry in Kim’s Show & Tell and include “UFO” in the notes.

These are the entries that have been identified via the above process:

2021 Challenge

Ladies

I came across a challenge in 2020 — a UFO challenge.  Of course, I would never have any UFO’s in my quilt room!  So, I thought a good New Year’s resolution would be to tackle at least some of them.  I would love for you to join me.

The Challenge is to do four items for a drawing during the July 2021 general guild meeting.  The criteria for the Challenge are:

Complete a UFO. It can be any project that is in support of the Guild’s objectives...quilts, Dress a Girl, pillowcases, caps, etc
Try a new technique.  Learn a new way of doing something and use this technique in a project.  This could be an improv quilt, paper piecing, appliqué, or even a new design such as an African styled quilt.  If you have never made pillowcases, now is the time.
Use some “I do NOT like this fabric any more”.  I have seen what I consider awful fabric turned into a wonderful quilt.  An idea would be, cut the fabric into 5” strips.  Still don’t like it, cut into 5” squares.  Still no, 2 1/2” strips.  I’ve taken the 5” strips and made 2 1/2” strips and then 2 1/2” squares.  The smaller it gets, the better it looks.  The things you can create using 2 1/2” strips/squares or 5” squares are endless.

So finish 4 UFOs or use your stash to create new quilts/dresses/pillowcases using new techniques or awful fabric.  Your effort will be “published” in our monthly virtual show and tell starting in February.  Please include a comment that it is part of the 2021 Challenge and whether it was a UFO, used a new technique or “Used awful fabric”.  The effort must include one or more of the above criteria to be eligible for the drawing.

If you complete 4 projects that meet this criteria by the June general meeting, your name will be put in the hat for a drawing at the July general meeting.  The prize is TBD (sorry) but I’ll come up with something. 

Happy Challenge!
