1. 1.First divide a 12” square into a sixteen patch - a grid of 4 x 4.  For help getting started, download our January Design Sheet.pdf
   

2. 2.Now draw an X through each square.
   

3. 3.Interpret this in a quilt form - anything goes (pieced, applique, contemporary, traditional . . . etc . . .  etc . . . etc)
   

4. 4.Try out a few quilting ideas >>> take a picture or scan your quilt, put it inside a page protector and use a whiteboard pen to draw ideas.  If you don’t like it, wipe it off and try again.  If it’s something you might consider, pull your picture out and put in another page protector and try again - when you’ve found the design that best completes your quilt then “quilt as desired.”
   

5. 5.Bind and photograph your quilt.
   

6. 6.Upload the picture to our challenge site (see below).
   

That’s it! 

Remember, your quilt should finish 12-1/2” square (12” plus binding).  If you want to vary this, that’s fine but don’t go crazy.  We’re not aiming for bed quilts but small samples of pushing our boundaries.

Be sure to consider:  color - value - contrast - pattern

Ready, Set, Go!
