LAP Challenge for 2009-2010
There are only 6 rules for this challenge.
You must use each of the included fabrics somewhere in your piece but you need not use all of every piece.
You may add fabrics if you choose.
The size of you finished piece should be at least 24" X 24" but if you need to go larger, the piece should not be larger than 36" X 36". Any measurement between these two sizes is acceptable, even something like 24" X 36" will work.
The finished piece is due at the March 4, 2010 LAP meeting. We will all share our creativity and our trials at this meeting. Top only is okay.
You must show your piece at the LAP Quilt Show in May 2010. All pieces will be hung together as one exhibit.
Have Fun!
