A Challenge is: difficulty in an undertaking that is stimulating to the one who is engaged in it.

Rules:

1. In keeping with recycle, reuse, etc. ...This is to be a scrappy quilt.

2. You may use your own scraps or other quilters scraps. A scrap is left over fabric from a previous project.

3. No single piece in the quilt should be more than a six inch square (or other shape) and no smaller than one inch. This rule applies to borders, also.

4. The maximum size of the quilt is to be a crib size quilt. But anything less that that size is equally wonderful!

5. The binding and backing do not have to be scraps... hey you could have a reversible quilt if you used scraps on the back!!!!!!

OK this is wide open for you creative quilters AND for you traditional quilters! Have fun and use your scraps up so you'll have room for more fabric!

Remember "Girls gotta have fun!"
