Michael Miller Challenge: The challenge is officially over, but we'll be collecting finished quilts at the August
meeting for Project Linus drop off. Here are the Michael Miller quilts shown at the July meeting.
|
| Carole designed this quilt herself and fussy cut each of the triangles. She quilted it on her home machine. |
|
| Carolyn made her first quilt! She poured herself a drink and started cutting! She folded in the edges of the front and back and sewed them together rather than bind the quilt. |

|
| Cass made this quilt for the challenge. |
|
| Ellen designed this quilt to look curved, but all the seams are straight. |
|
| The front of Harriet's challenge quilt. |

|
| Susan started making a Disappearing Nine-Patch quilt with her challenge fabrics, but she didn't like it. So she improvised this design with the leftover fabric. |
|
| Janine used every speck of challenge fabric for her quilt. |
|
| As did Holly for her challenge quilt. |

| A block from Carrie's Charley Harper Swoon quilt that she's going to hate giving away. |
|
| A second quilt by Sandy. |
|
| Pascale made this quilt for her brother using the quilt-as-you-go method. Each block is a different fish with different quilting. |

|
| Christine made this quilt as a gift; the question of whether it looked too much like a baby quilt resulted in a lively discussion. |
|
| Ellen made this quilt to practice on her new long-arm. Each column is a different quilt design. |
|
| The back of Ellen's practice quilt. |
|
| Ellen started this piece in Carolyn Friedlander's class at Sew Down Nashville. She didn't like her quilting, so she just kept adding more until she did. |

| Jill made this zippered bag in a chevron design, enlarging the pattern slightly. |
