I thoroughly enjoyed
playing along with the online
Ad-Hoc Improv Quilters group.
to visit the AHIQ group blog.
* * *
Below are the quilts that I've created in response
to the various AHIQ challenges
along with links to their finished reveal posts . . .
was created in response to the COINS challenge.
So was MERAKI.
was my response to the Two-Block quilt challenge.
Words to Live By was created
in response to the
WORDS ON QUILTS challenge.
The Spotted Winkel was created
during the PLAYING WITH SCALE challenge.
For the late 2018 MAPS and MAPPING challenge,
I went with a different approach.
Instead of creating a new quilt,
I mapped my own quilting journey
through a series of posts on the group blog.

AHIQ - Red is a Neutral (early 2019)
I worked on two projects for this challenge.
Luminous - shown as a quilt top and a scrappy back.
These were gifted to an out-of-state friend
who turned them into a finished quilt
that she and her husband adore.
Luminous was also my 2019
Inspi(red) includes trimmings from Luminous.
You can read the "reveal" post HERE.

Life intervened
and AHIQ was one of the casualties.
There are still occasional posts on the group blog,
but like so many good things,
the rush of activity has ended.
