The great reveal of the challenge quilts lived up to all expectations.
MVQU members showed their ingenuity as well as their quilting talents. The only disappointment was that so few members participated.
Suzanne Shaw's challenge quilt is entitled “Time to move your body.” It is a photo display of varies activities she loves to do with family and friends. She has a photos of her 12 person Ragnar relay team, she and her son skiing and herself running in a marathon, sailing with her husband, and with her sister volunteering at a 5k event which they also participated in. Suzanne used many novelty prints and the 2 clock hands became ski poles.

redwork blocks featuring Christmas songs that included measures of time.
This quilt created by Diane Tippins consists of 12 strips of fabric in the center which represent 12 stages of her life.

Kaffe" was created with
Kaffe fabrics.

grandmama in 1950.
Angie Miller called her entry "Divine Sunshine" for her daughter Deanna, who just knew the guidelines were meant for her. 12 Hour Glass blocks surround appliqued Roman Numerals for her
birthdate Dec 12, 2012 when she will turn 24. The sun and moon represent her name and time of birth with clock hands set at 11:09pm. They designed the quilt top together and Angie wrote the poem (below)
Barbara Dove created the "Biological Clock". The rabbit, clock with children's faces, and hands approaching midnight symbolize a biological clock.
