\"IMG_3864\"<\/a>The Fraser Valley Quilters Guild’s Biennial Quilt Show<\/a> is being held in Langley BC this weekend.\u00a0 The FVQG has 6 teams and they are each competing against a team from another guild.\u00a0 Our team, the VMQG<\/a> Mod Quilters, competed on Saturday morning.\u00a0\u00a0 The challenge – each team to complete a quilt \u2013 36 x 36 inches or larger – quilted, bound and labeled, within 2 hours.\u00a0 And just before the start of the challenge, each team is given a fat quarter of fabric that they must feature in their quilt.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_3859\"<\/a>We were the only Modern Quilt Guild in the competition, and we decided our priorities were to create a distinctly modern quilt, using improv techniques, and to have fun!\u00a0 So, unlike the other teams, we didn’t have our fabrics totally planned and\/or precut.\u00a0 We had a basic plan, and we each brought some solid fabric and a few printed fat quarters.\u00a0 We didn’t decide which solid color to use for the front until we saw the feature fabric (which everyone loved!).<\/p>\n

Here are some action shots of our team at work:<\/p>\n

We didn’t quite get our quilt finished in the 2 hours (it was quilted, the label was on, and I was about 10 minutes from finishing sewing the binding on), so we didn’t win.\u00a0 But we’re really proud of our quilt – and the other team members even made a matching pillow cover, while I was frantically sewing the binding on. \"IMG_3875\"<\/a> \"IMG_3878\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"IMG_1910\"<\/a>I couldn’t believe how many spectators were interested in watching us quilt, although I understood the fascination later, when I found myself part of the excited crowd as the clock ticked down for the afternoon challenge.
\nIt was a lot of fun, and I would definitely participate again!<\/p>\n
