This group of fiber artists and art quilters  formed in September 2006 as a result of a discussion on the QuiltArt list about the television show, Project Runway, and the value of working quickly within specified parameters.  The group is issued one challenge per month, with one week to complete a small work.  Challenges attempt to stretch members in their skills and creativity, encourage thinking outside the box, and teach new techniques and concepts.  Challenges are chosen by a different member each month and incorporate color and design concepts, techniques, surface design, embellishments, work within themes, and any other art quilt concepts a member can imagine.   The first year challenges are shown here.
