Group Submission from the South Bay Area Modern Quilt Guild

This group of quilts was started at the SBAMQG's November 2020 Virtual Retreat. Tina Michalik and Kathrin Brown introduced techniques and provided samples to inspire us. The Lone Round Robin is based on a log cabin, sewn from the center to the edge of the quilt, in rounds. To unify our Lone Round Robins, Tina chose our center fabric, which was designed by Alexia Marcelle Abegg for Ruby Star Society +Moda, in her Alma collection: "Field in Persimmon." Kathrin inspired us with prompts to incorporate into our rounds as we proceeded. We were encouraged to use fabric from our stashes. The number one rule was to break the rules. In the finished quilts, see if you can spot use of the prompts - and who doesn't like following rules!
Prompts:

Round 1: anything you choose; Round 2: add flying geese; Round 3: include a piece of black fabric; Round 4: add a floral fabric – either an entire strip or a piece; Round 5: make striped fabric with 1” white and 1″black strips and include; Round 6: include a polka dot fabric piece or strip; Round 7: include four HST (half-square triangles); Round 8: include an Hour Glass block; Round 9: Handwrite or embroider a word or phrase about 2020 using archival pen; Round 10: Add a strip or piece of batik.

For the Birds - Lori Green

This quilt was made during the SBAMQG Virtual Quilt Retreat in November 2020.
We started with the center fabric and were given prompts telling us what to feature in each round of our "Lone Robin" rounds. I featured the bird fabrics I love and had been saving for years.
Finally had the right way to use them!
This quilt is 17" x 22" and was machine quilted by the maker.

Journey - Kathrin Brown

This quilt was made as part of the SBAMQG Virtual Retreat in 2020. It is 11" x 14" and was machine quilted by the maker.

First Woman - Teri Pohle

This quilt, part of the SBAMQG group, is named "First Woman" because I began it on the day the first woman was named Vice-President-Elect. It was improv pieced using fabrics from the maker's stash and colors from the floral fabric. The quilt is 17.5" x 18.5" and was minimally machine quilted by the maker.

Worthy - Vivian Skripek

This is my first challenge quilt. I am drawn to liberated quilts so my interpretation of the prompts was guided by this. Worthy is my word to represent 2020. May all know that they are worthy of respect, protection, and of being seen and heard.
This quilt is 47" x 38" and was quilted by Kathrin Brown.

2020: A Time to Heal - Ruth Smith

During the SBA Modern Quilt Guild's retreat, feeling the tumult of 2020--the pandemic, massive calls for racial justice, California's wildfires, the election of Joe Biden/Kamala Harris and repudiation of Trump-- I pieced together and handquilted my favorite fabrics to convey healing and renewal.

2020: A Time to Heal Detail

This quilt is 50" x 72" and was hand quilted by the maker.

Courage - Laura Ryle

This quilt is dedicated to all the essential workers that have courageously risked their lives during the COVID crisis. The quilt was pieced and quilted using my home machine. Other than the black border, it was entirely made with my stash. The black and white side is the back.

Courage Back

This quilt is 80" x 80" and was machine quilted by the maker.

Embrace the Autumn - Elizabeth McInnis

It was great fun to do this challenge with fellow guild members. I decided to embrace the autumn palette suggested by the feature fabric.
This quilt is 30" x 30" and was machine quilted by the maker.

Limbo - Karen Foster

"Limbo" is my Lone Round Robin quilt made during SBAMQG Virtual Retreat. I took some artistic liberty interpreting the prompts for the rounds and elaborated with a "mash up" towards the end using leftover project parts and stash to individualize a classic.
This quilt is 42" x 62" and was machine quilted by the maker.

A Quilt for Elle - Mickey Beebe

This quilt was gifted to Elle. She was less than two months old when her house burned down in Boulder Creek. I wanted to make a happy quilt and the perfect opportunity came up at SBAMQG's Virtual Quilt Retreat. I changed my design to four blocks instead of one big block.

A Quilt for Elle Detail

This quilt is 40" x 56" and was machine quilted by Toni McAuliffe.

MMXX Ex Cineribus - Gene Ratcliffe

I loved this challenge project. My 2020 phrase was 'Flamma fumo et proxima' (where there's smoke there's fire). Orange represents the fires that just missed us, grey the ash and smoke. The center is quilted with a Covid virus, the orange with flames, and the grey with tendrils of smoke. I finished on the day the election was called for Biden, so I added the 'Ex cineribus' (from the ashes) to reflect optimism at the end of a difficult year.
This quilt is 26" x 25.5" and was hand quilted by the maker.
