The Bulloch Hall Quilt Guild will highlight a
special exhibit at this year's quilt show:
"Vintage revisited...A block challenge exhibit"
Throughout our history, a woman's work has never been completely done. As a result, many quilting projects have been left in various stages of completion.
What would happen if a set og blocks was divided among a number of quilt artists and each was left to create a quilt in her own unique style?
In the spring of 2006, quilters of all the backgrounds were invited to participate in just such a challenge. As a result, a group of 19 talented women have committed
themselves to his exciting two-year project. The group includes art quilters, traditionalists, historians, and relative newcomers to this quilting journey.
Six sets of vintage blocks were distributed to these brave artists. The block was theirs to play with! They could add to it, cut it up, embellish it,
recreate it, improve upon it and
more. The only requirement was that the finished quilt measure 24" x 24" and that the original block be included in the final project.
In all, there are a total of 120 quilts.
