Crayon Challenge 2010

Congratulations to our 2010 Challenge Quilt Winners!
32 members participated in this year's challenge which had us blindly selecting a crayon

and 18 X 24" in size. The rest was up to our imagination.

Thanks to ALL our members who contributed so enthusiastically!!! Here are the results.
