Here is another entry from our Alternative Grid Work Challenge! This entry is titled "Not before my Coffee" by @snailsews She says about her quilt "Amy Friend inspired me to use paper piecing, gradation of color and to use the alternative grid work. I modified a paper pieced coffee cup that we used for block lotto to make it into a mug. I was inspired also by a photo of a poster of a large coffee cup so I added the oversized mug. It was fun choosing the browns including espresso and capuccino. The quilting is simple but could be steam rising up."

Here is another entry from our Alternative Grid Work Challenge! This entry is called "Cats and dogs live off the grid" by @jotquilts She used alternative grid work by "Rather than placing the houses in rows and columns each row moves to the left or right of the row below"

All of our submissions to our first challenge of the year, The Alternative Grid Work Challenge were so great we figured we would share them on our social media! Here is the first entry, by @sujoh17 She says about the quilt "This is my improv paper pieced curves mini-quilt from the Amy Friend workshop, I didn't use a grid whatsoever - all improv curves."

We started the year with a lecture by @duringquiettime who inspired our April Alternative Grid Work Challenge, yesterday we announced the winners in Best Use of Alternative Grid Work, Best Modern Design, and Member's Choice. Be sure to swipe to see the winners in all three categories!! Over the next week or so we will be posting each of the entries so be sure to keep an eye on our feed to see all of the wonderful entries (or check out the link in our bio!)
