Napkin Quilt Challenge
I've never heard of that either, but I saw the exhibit of quilts at Quiltworks and boy was it a good one! The ladies drew a napkin and they were to use it for inspiration to make a quilt.

Wow! What amazing talent! No challenges for me!
ReplyDeleteI love the beach houses. Interestingly they're only a small part of the original, but beautifully developed.
ReplyDeletereally neat inspiration idea--they're really all out there aren't they? You have to really "look"! Thanks for sharing, hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea! Their creativity is amazing. The only challenge I have ever participated in required use of a specific piece of fabric and the quilt had to represent an idiom of the maker's choice.
ReplyDeleteFabulous! Who brings the napkins in the first place?
ReplyDeleteWhat fun ideas!! I love that green string quilt with the wavy strings...curious how they do that!!
ReplyDeleteLOVED this, Lori!
ReplyDeleteThose are fabulous. That was a good challenge.
ReplyDeleteUna idea genial!!!
ReplyDeletecuanta imaginación tiene las quilters
gracias por compartir
saludos
Oh I love that idea. What wonderful quilts. I think we should try this with our group. Thanks for the inspiration Lori!
ReplyDeleteLove the elephant !! No challenge for me too but ...why not ?
ReplyDeleteThose are amazing! I'm horrible at challenges usually, but I did win a 2-color quilt challenge at my guild in TX, but that's because I already had started it before it was announced. It was the airplane quilt that I made 2 of for my 2 pilot sons. Plus the judge was partial to vintage designs and this was one. :-) Otherwise, I usually don't even enter them.
ReplyDeleteWhat an cool idea. It was amazing to see how the napkins were interpreted. Much cleverer than I am.
ReplyDeleteI did enjoy seeing these quilts. I'm going to look at paper napkins in a new light now!
ReplyDeleteThat's such a fun idea for a quilt challenge! Thank you so much for sharing this!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting challenge! The quilts are really special!
ReplyDeleteA very interesting challenge. Some took the challenge more literal and others played with color or an element from the napkin. I don't know what I would have done for any of them.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great challenge! I'm inspired. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great challenge idea...I love it!
ReplyDeleteThey are so creatively interesting and beautiful! The challenge was interpreted so differently from one person to the next. Such fun! I love the elephant the most. I haven't participated in a challenge yet because I am afraid I won't have the time to finish the project before the deadline. It is on my to do list to try it at least once. So I started to follow the blog "Le Challenge" and I might participate in Feb since it is the dot challenge. If you are interested in knowing more here the blog:

Thanks for sharing.
Wasn't that a great challenge? I really enjoyed seeing them all. Like you, I'm not very good at challenges. I think I don't like the pressure! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a GREAT idea for a challenge!
ReplyDeleteThat is a fun challenge but I would be worried about copyrights?
ReplyDeleteWe did one where we each sent another person, objects and fabrics and then we had to use all the materials to make a quilt.
I got stuck with mine but then I sat on it and thought about it and came up with a fun way to use it all.

Love the challenge theme with the napkins! What a great idea. Those are some awesome quilts. I am never thrilled with the challenge quilts I've made, but I sure do love seeing what other folks come up with. I agree about the poppies. The pieced background really sparkles.
ReplyDeleteVery creative. What a fun challenge
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever idea, and the interpretations are amazing. I wished there were more, it was so fascinating to see what was created from the napkin inspiration. : )
ReplyDeletesuper fun! I love how some are literal and others are impressionistic -
ReplyDeleteI have to admit I've pocketed a few napkins in the past because of their inspirational designs but haven't followed through with the concept. I'll have to rediscover the ones I have. Lovely display.
ReplyDeleteWe did something in our guil but you had a paper gift bag with a piece of fabric in it and you had to use the pic on the front of the bag for inspiration and use the fabric from the bag. It was a lot of fun and had some great quilts come from it. Hugs,
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous idea! I love it! Thanks for showing us!
ReplyDeleteOne of my fav challenges was for the 10 year anniversary of a local newspaper. We were each given a front page of the newspaper from somewhere within the 10 years and we were to make a quilt inspired by the front page of the paper. It was named "black and white and read allover".
