Group Challenge 2013

Earlier this year I set our patchwork group a challenge to make a quilt that measured design size of 18" x 24". The subject was titled "A Little Bit Amish" and the idea came from the book Amish Inspired by the Piece O Cake duo Becky Goldsmith and Linda Jenkins. They were asked to give it a twist. We had lots of books to look at and of course a wealth of things to ponder over via the internet to give us plenty of ideas. Tuesday was the big reveal and we had a total of 17 entries out of 31 people. We judge the winner by a secret vote and the one with the most votes wins. I wonder if you will agree with our choice. I won't tell you yet which one is the winner or indeed which one was made by yours truly. Tell me which number you would choose and which number you think is mine.

Please excuse my photography and editing, you know by now it is not my strong point.
 
 I think you will agree that all the quilts were great and well done Apple County Quilters for rising so admirably to the challenge.
 
 Happy Stitching.

  1. What lovely little quilts; it's really hard to choose a winner and even harder to know which one is yours (and no hexies to give a clue)!!! OK I think that number 8 is the winner, although that's not necessarily my favorite and I guess that number 2 is yours (and that's also my favorite).

  2. Great results from the challenge. I am torn between 1 and 8. I have absolutely no idea which one is yours. You are going to tell us which was the winner and which is yours I hope :)

  5. Hmm, this is hard Shirley.
    I think #12 is the winner, though I think #4 is the most Amish looking and could be yours.

  9. Wonderful little quilts - and such variety! I think I'd pick 14 as the winner. Am having trouble guessing which might be yours but maybe a wee bit of pink in it...so maybe that is yours too?!

  13. Looks like a fun challenge! I've looked and looked and can't decide which I like best or which is yours. I've been thinking of you as September days go by. :)
