so, our quilt guild participated in the big modern quilt guild’s michael miller challenge. we received some madrona road fabrics in the blue/yellow/black colors and we were allowed to use any solid or any other madrona road fabric. furthermore, to kick off our guild’s new relationship with senior services, we decided to make wheelchair quilts […]
