Madrona Road Challenge
December 8th, 2012 - February 11th, 2013
---Official Rules---
You are to bring a completed project to the February 11th meeting which must follow the xx simple rules below.
1. Your project must use Madrona Road and if you choose you can include solids too. You can of course buy more or different Madrona Road prints to suppliment what what included in the Fat Eighth bundle you were provided.
2. Some element of your item must be quilted. For example, if you are making a tote bag, then include a quilted coinpurse or keychain. And yes, you can always make a quilt if you choose.
3. While there is no minimum or maximum size requirements, use your judgement and make sure that you are using a good portion of the fabric that was included in the bundle.
4. If you took one of the Fat Eighth bundles to play with, you must bring a completed item to the February 11th meeting. Otherwise, you need to return the fabric and pay a penalty of $10 to the STLMQG. This is not meant to discourage anyone from participating; but rather to ensure that no one is adding "free fabric" to their stash.
We have setup a Madrona Road Challenge discussion thread here on Flickr, feel free to post questions and check in to learn the newest news on this challenge.
The MQG has also setup a separate Flickr group too, so feel free to upload in progress and finished photos there as well.

A big Thank You goes out to Michael Miller Fabrics for providing the fabric for our members.
