Material Girls May mtg

Here are the pics from my quilt group Material Girls Idaho. Our new block exchange called the Pizza Box Exchange looks like it's going to be a hit. We each made one block of our choosing and put it in a pizza box. After each meeting, we take home a different pizza box and make a block that will go with the original block. After about 12-15 months, we'll take home our original box and will have a beautiful assortment of squares with which to make a quilt. We look like we're having a huge pizza feast each month as we bring our boxes to the meeting! Here's my original block and I've suggested that any other blocks are also made using a raw edge applique technique. Can't wait to see what my talented quilting buddies come up with.

The rest of these are pictures from our show and tell. Enjoy.

Material Girls Show and Tell

Last week my quilt group met so I thought I'd post the pictures from our show and tell. It's the best part of our meetings-so motivating! We're starting a Pizza Box Exchange this month. Each of us made a block of our choosing with the colors we want in our quilt. We put our blocks in a pizza box, then go home from the meeting with someone else's pizza box. During the month we then make one square for the owner of the box we took home, using their colors but choosing our own pattern for the block. Can't wait to see the results.
