Quiltalong - 2024

Sorry, @EclecticDreamer, I know you asked about this a few posts back. Yes, our challenge for this quarter is to “Quilt a gift for someone, or use gifted materials in an item that you quilt.” Your beautiful mug rug definitely falls into that category! So, to submit for the challenge, you’ll just post “I EclecticDreamer, offer my swapped mug rug for my small/medium/large (pick one) challenge entry” (I would just add it to my spreadsheet, but I want to make sure it gets added for the correct amount of tickets). You can find information on project sizes on the first post at the top of the Quiltalong (if you click on the “Quiltalong - 2024” header at the top of this page, it will take you to the start of the posts). You can also find the information on the different monthly prompts/quarterly challenges/monthly BOMs in the second and third posts from the top (if you ever go to check and find that some info is missing, just make a post and ask me about it. Odds are usually good that I’ve just forgotten to add the info).

BTW - your mug rug looks great! I love those quilted lines!

December Prompt:
Stars
For the shape prompts, the monthly shape needs to be highlighted. This can be done in a variety of ways. For example, if the shape is a square, you could make a square patchwork quilt. You could quilt a pattern that features squares. You could create a quilt block using square patterned fabric. Whatever you do, just have fun and make the monthly shape shine!
