Round Robin Quilts

Sue brought in two centers made from leftover OBW blocks to start two new quilts.

Summer Challenge: Game Board Quilts

Andrea's quilt is inspired by the game "Clue", and each block represents a weapon, room, and/or person from the game.

Lisa's quilt is her interpretation of the Parcheesi board.

Charity Quilts

Maureen, who is our Charity chairperson, brought in this completed quilt with blocks created by many guild members.

And this one, which has a masculine feel.

Plus, another Community quilt has been completed, should a member need a comforting gift.

Winter Challenge: "Art" Quilt

Chris introduced a new challenge where members create a block that is a piece of a larger artwork, without seeing the entire artwork first.
