PASS IT ON A QUILTER’S CHALLENGE SPONSORED BY
MACHINE QUILTING UNLIMITED MAGAZINE
This challenge is about following creativity through a group of six quilters, along the lines of a grade-schooler whispering a sentence in the ear of a classmate, who then whispers to another, then another, until the final student repeats the sentence out loud (and it rarely resembles the original sentence!). We start with a photo chosen by the two Group Leaders. The Leader interprets the photo into a quilt. The Leader then sends that quilt to the second person in their group, but does NOT share the original photo. The second quilter interprets the first quilt and creates his/her own design. The second quilt is then sent to the third person, with no hint of the previous quilt that inspired quilter #2…and so on. By the time the sixth quilter produces a finished quilt, the design travels far from the original photo concept. But it shows the creativity sparked by each of the previous quilters’ work. Each group will use the same photograph as a starting point. It will be interesting to see the different interpretations from the two groups as well.
