Progressions

Progressions was the theme for our 2024 “Big Challenge”. This was our most unique challenge to date, and here are the parameters:

“The quilt must be made of 3 panels, each 16″ wide and 31″ long (+ or – 1″), all sewn onto 1 black sleeve with 2″ between each panel. The theme is a “progressive quilt”, so that your idea “progresses” from one panel to the next.  For Example, a pair of hands, first young, then middle aged, then old.  Or a seed, then a flower bud, then the fully open flower. 

The outside edges of the 2 outer quilts, and the tops and bottoms of all the quilts will have binding. All the vertical inside edges will be faced. The binding must be 1/2″ wide in a solid color, but not black.”

And here are the quilts:

“African Magic” by Sandy Ingram
“Daughters of The Amoebalution” by Donna Bilda
