Quiltcon Charity Quilt 2019 Discussion 

(https://www.quiltcon.com/charity-quilt-challenge-2019)

Small piecing is the theme. We have chosen to go with stripes which must be smaller than 1” in one direction. Fabric was given out to volunteers to bring back finished pieces August meeting. We will be sticking to the fabric given out in the meeting (not adding from your own stashes). The background will be aqua. Starching helps! J We will consider having a sew-in in September to work with these pieces.
