THis may or may not be what you're looking for, but I'll keep looking online for anything else that answers to 'Paper bag quilt'!

For some quilters, 'random' is one of the hardest things to master. They are just too anal & have to plan everything. :) Using the bag technique forces (?) them to use whatever their hand pulls out. However, that said, I do know some of my students were caught putting a piece they didn't want to use back in & grabbing another one! There's always those difficult students! lol

A bee I belonged to did a "brown bag" exchange. We placed fabrics in a brown paper grocery baf, then all the bags were placed on a table and mixed up. Then we each drew a number and in numerical order selected a bag from the group. We all looked in the bag, just to make sure we didn't get our own bag. We decided on a minimum and maximum size to make, then we had one month to make a top with the fabrics in the bag. Choice of pattern was ours, but we couldn't add any fabrics from our stash, and we had to use all of the fabrics in the bag at least once. At the next meeting, we drew numbers again, then the person with number 1 first showed the fabric from her bag and we would find out who owned it. Then she would show the top she made, and give it and the rest of the fabric back to the owner. So we each got a new quilt top made by a friend.
