The Modern Quilt Guild’s theme for the 2024 Community Outreach Challenge is Symmetry
Participating Guilds are making quilts that show symmetry in the quilt top. We have purchased each color in the 2024 MQG color palette.
To amp up the fun, the MQG has given us permission to use scraps too. Please bring tone-on-tone scraps matching our color palette to our sew days. If you’re in doubt about the color, bring it anyway and we’ll help you decide if it works in our quilt.
Our plan is to make hundreds and hundreds of 3.5 inch square-in-a-square blocks and arrange them in a symmetrical way. You can download the directions right here
Here’s where our inspiration comes from. While our inspiration is not symmetrical, we have some ideas in store.
Please Join Us for Sew Days!
WHAT TO BRING: sewing machine with a new needle, basic sewing supplies, tone-on-tone scraps that match our color palette and a lunch.
WHEN: July 19th, August 9th, and September 20th. 10 am to 3 pm.
WHERE: Lake Mathews Community Room, 16453 El Sobrante Rd, Riverside, CA 92503

2023 Community Outreach Quilt
After 3 full sewing days, Quilting by Kelley Bachli and binding by Sharon Berg and Patti Reyes, our quilt is finished and ready for QuiltCon 2023. We had a naming contest with seven clever entries. Members voted for their favorite and Kelley Bachli’s entry “Into the Deep” won. Congratulations Kelley! Thank you to all of our Members who contributed to this fantastic quilt.
