Cherokee Rose Quilt Guild Challenge 2013
The Quilted “Idiom” Project
Idiom Definition: An idiom is a rendition of a combination of words that have a figurative meaning.
Quilt Idiom: a rendition of an expressed idiom in pictures (I made this one up)
Rules:




Your project must be at least 12” on it’s longest side and no larger than 36” on it’s largest size.
It can be any shape and doesn’t have to be a quilt but it must have quilting on it.
You must choose a name from the list. No two people can pick the same one
We must be able to “see” how you interpreted your idiom.
Example: “A warped sense of time”, you could make a project that involves clocks, time such as
seasons, a warped project that involves skewing something etc.
Whatever you can “picture” in your mind when you hear the idiom you pick.
If you want to be sure you get the idiom you like best be sure to choose right away.
