Snippet Fun!

 My local “Kaleidoscope” quilt group had such a fun project this month. We made “snippet” quilts. 

 We each brought our own supplies: An inspirational image (painting, photograph, etc.) a roughly 10” square of batting and backing, scissors, glue stick and a bag of scraps. 

This Henry Isaacs painting was my inspiration. 

 Each person starts her own quilt by cutting and gluing pieces onto the batting. After 5 minutes, we pass the quilt, the picture and our bag of scraps (keeping our own scissors and glue stick) along to the person to our right. Each person has 5 minutes before they have to pass it along to the next person. We allotted around 30 minutes, so 6 people had their input onto each quilt. We had a ball!

This is after the fourth person was finished – two more to go. 

 In the end you simply add tulle (I used a light green) over the entire piece (to keep the little pieces contained) and quilt and bind it. 

This is the one I made last time we did this, over 10 years ago! 

I glued the inspiration picture on the back next to my label. 

If your group is looking for something fun to do, I highly recommend it.
