I’ve been playing with this idea for a while, to make a quilt with your interactive participation, something like I’ve done in 2007 making a Pink Ribbon Quilt with appliques suggested by my blogfriends.

The quilt I have in mind will consist of blocks that I need you to define (kind of blocks and colours). For this quilt I prefer to make pieced blocks, size 12″ square.
And to make it more fun for you to participate… you can win the finished quilt!!!!

The background colour will be (all sorts) of white. This Wonky Star block is an example of what a block could look like. The size of the finished quilt will depend on your and mine enthousiasm and perseverance. I presume there are about 25 blocks needed to make a reasonably sized quilt, but it’s not about the size, it’s about the intention.
If you like to join this project, please read about some rules:
1. On every Interactive Quilt Project (IQP) 2010 post, you can a leave comment with an idea for a block and share your favourite colours.
2. When I’ve have received (at least) 10 suggestions for blocks, I will draw the name of the winning block and put it together.
3. I will post about the winning block and ask you to leave a new comment for the next block. And so on and so forth, untill all blocks needed are finished.
4. In the end, the names of all block winners will go into the hat. When the quilt is finished (sandwiched, quilted and bound) I will draw the name of the winner of the quilt and it will be send to you. You can choose to keep it yourself, give it to a dear friend or donate it to charity, that’s completely up to you.
5. Make sure I can reply to your comments (anonymous and no reply comments won’t count). One entry per person per IQP 2010 post. You will have a reasonable amount of chances to get your name in the hat for the final drawing when you leave comments on the IQP 2010 posts.
6. Once you’ve ‘won a block’ you are allowed to take another chance by leaving a comment and suggestion on the following IQP 2010 post (I invented this one in case there will be only 1 participant…LOL!)
Does the above make sense? If not, please let me know and send me an email. The address can be found in the ‘about’ page of my blog.
Let’s get started! Please leave a comment with your suggestion, and try to think contemporary, colourful, happy and outside the box. If you’re only familiar with traditional blocks, please share those, I will try to modify them! I can’t wait to see what you come up with!
I hope this 2010 interactive project will become a wonderful joint experience and will be a learning curve for me!
Happy weekend!
