British German Stash Exchange

This  was an interesting show of small quilts - the German British Stash Exchange. The Patchwork Gilde Deutschland challenged the Quilters Guild to a stash exchange, and 101 quilters rose to the challenge. Participants had to send fat quarters or  equivalent pieces (four to six) totalling 1 meter fabric from their own stash. These were exchanged with fabric from the other country. They then had to make a quilt with the fabrics  and any from their own selection. 60 of these were on display. I guess there was a standard size to make the quilt. These photos are just a few of the entries. You can see the entry forms with the samples of fabrics in some of the photos.





The variety of results was amazing. I enjoyed this.
