I love the quilt challenges because I am a new quilter and they make me think outside the box and try new things.

I like challenges because they push you out of your comfort zone. So many of us (myself included) tend to use the same color palettes or the same style (i.e. traditional vs. modern) quilts and we are uncomfortable trying something new. This is a fun way to expand your horizons a bit. Who knows, you just might like it.
I love quilt challenges because they usually take me out of my comfort zone. This is the opportunity to let my creative juices flow and make something happen …
Challenges motivate me and often send me outside the box…plus, they're just plain fun!
I like seeing how everyone interprets the quilt challenges! I'm hoping to join in the fun next winter…

I like to have to use my own creativity instead of using someone else's pattern. I actually love doing the math to figure out size of project, blocks, saching/or not, and borders.
I like challenges because we get to see the AMAZING results! New inspiration.~
I love the quilt challenge because they do just that, challenge me. I've always been a "safe" kind of girl, and this year my goal was to step out of my comfort zone and try new things, quilting being just one of those things. Each of these challenge projects has also taught me something about myself and my relationship with others and God. Thank you. My e-mail address is jantzis@ags-schools.org
I like the Kaffe Fassett tumbler quilt…but those tie dye dresses are adorable too.~
It's amazing to see how every interprets the challenge differently.

I love challenges because they push me to think of something I wouldn't normally do. It's good and it feeds my creativity.
Your etsy store has something for every taste! I love your use of color and the variety.
I love the quilting challenges because it motivates me to get things done. It has also changed some of the ways I look at my fabric. I've only done 2 challenges and both were done with fabric I've had for a very long time. I've always looked at them and just passed them by never knowing what to do with them. Funny but they both inspired my first 2 challenges. I'm so pleased to have not only finished 2 projects I love but, done them using fabrics I would not have other wise ever used.

I have done about 5 quilt-a-longs, but never a challenge. It will be fun to see what I can dream up, and also what others create as well. I'm not sure if I can actually come up with a design by the deadline, but I'll try.

I love challenges because they push me to step outside my comfort zone, try new techniques and designs, and also show an amazing breadth of designs from other quilters.
I like challenges because they create an opportunity to learn and experiment. Perhaps the best part is that they are very liberating. Quilt for the sake of quilting without worry about the intended purpose or intended recipient.
I love challenges, because they make me think and be more creative. There also a lot of fun.
