Later, the remainder of the crayons could be added, the "quilt" folded and tied and gifted to some lucky kid. I'm thinking on the fly here. :lol:

Good idea!
Plus it would standardize what each participant had to work with. Though there's no K, Q, X and Z if you were doing the name game

Plus, a lot of guilds and quilting groups have a charity project each year, so this spin would do double duty!

I would just do an alphabet "draw" if someone had one of those as an initial and use whatever was drawn as the substitute letter. I agree that it would make a great charity project - esp. around Christmas.

Any donations to "charity" projects are AWESOME. Many mini-quilts go to an Alzheimer's project where they are auctioned off.

Just took a quilt to the United Way fund drive last week, and people were thrilled to get int. My local quilting partner and I are going to make ONE donation quilt a year now

Any way you change UP the rules is fine - there are noooo PCC police....LOL! We are going to do all sorts of rule morphing in future years as we want to keep the challenge fresh and fun for everyone.
