 My local quilt guild, the CT Piecemakers Quilt Guild, has a Challenge Quilt event each year - usually more than one.  Each small challenge quilt has to be a certain size and is based on a particular theme.  Here are two Challenge quilts that I made recently.  The theme of the quilt on the left was SEASONS and the theme for the quilt on the right was TRIANGLES.
 In 2021, I started making a series of T-Shirt quilts in memory of my DIL's step-dad, Harry, who was a retired fire chief in a nearby town.  His widow, Karen, asked me if I could make some t-shirt quilts out of his extensive collection of t-shirts from his various fire fighters conventions, his Navy ship reunions, and so forth.  Karen wanted photographs included on the quilts so I had all the photos printed onto 100% cotton fabric by an online company called Spoonflower. So far, I have made four (4) quilts which actually turned out to be very heavy, double-sided quilts.  Here is the front and back view of one of those quilts. FRONT AND BACK VIEWS OF T-SHIRT QUILT #3
