    I contacted my partner j50. I like the alphabet theme for 2018!

You could make an Apple or a Mirror. or we could do artsy things like "wavy", "circular", "straight", etc. Let me know your thoughts.
    I like the alphabet ideal.

    I would do Wacky Holidays again - there are so many you didn't use! It pushed me to think outside my norm

    2018 challenge

    I like the artsy type of challenge. It would challenge us to use some of the usual quilting ideas that we may not use. Could also include color selection, specific quilt pattern, type of fabric, hand quilting,appliques, landscape, solids,the list goes on.

    Would we use the same size or another size or shape?? Could make a banner or runner with the ones we collect.

    I also enjoyed holidays, but I am fairly new to the group. Perhaps a color theme each month? That would open it to things that are that color, or artsy using that color. I also like the alphabet. Thanks for your work, cookiezenmilk!

    keep the ideas coming! keep in mind, it's just a postcard. postcards usually measure 4 x 6 inches and we are sewing thru a very thick interfacing so hand quilting is out.
