How about appliqued wall hangings?

Thats what I'm thinking Scissor...Rhonda...maybe vary the "type"...like appliqued one time, art quilts another time, "new" techniques the next....OR you could just alternate between "traditional" and then have an "Anything Goes" month...you know like they do with the BBQ contests LOL! That way everyone could play anytime....like if you can't/don't applique, you could still do something in another manner if you wanted.

You all are thinking along the same lines I was. Patrice suggested the lap quilt size so I went with that for the first one. but I do plan to do others.
I appreciate all the suggestions.

OK Rhonda...another thought...are you thinking ahead so you might be able to give us a Heads up...like maybe a 6 month calendar..we might be either working on something we'd like to use, or we would have a bit more time to think one up...or is that a motive in your madness...to limit the time you have to work on it?

If we did the longer time frame I could do one twice a year. But that might not work either as people will be working on Christmas the second half of the year. We will see.

Right now I just want to get through this one and see how it goes. But I don't mind thinking ahead.
