Wow, it's going to be tough to follow a theme that allowed us such wonderful "research" and spurred a link to scientific research about the usefulness of a chocolate teapot, or a polling gadget for favorite quilts! I have to admit that this new theme is a bit self serving in that it is along the lines of themes I have been incorporating into my work lately, but who's to say it couldn't add to others' bodies of work too?
Since we are forming a nice little community here, and community is a pretty universal concept, let's have at it!

The International Art Quilt Challenge

About Twelve by Twelve
We are twelve quilt artists who embarked on an art challenge together. We're from different places throughout the world and our artistic styles vary, but we share a love of art quilting and a desire to play, experiment, learn, and grow.
For four years (2007-2011), we each made a 12x12 inch quilted art piece on a designated theme or palette. See our Theme Series and our Colorplay series.
For the 2012 Series, we changed things a bit and made rectangular pieces, 20x12 inches with roughly 10 weeks between each challenge. As before, we had a designated theme for each challenge.
We shared our process, progress, and results on this blog. It remains a key record of our rich collaboration.

Oh! My mind is totally blank. When is the deadline? I like a more esoteric theme, = gives me greater parameters to work in.
I too like more esoteric themes and this one is full of possibilities
Do we have a two month deadline here? Reveal on 1 April? or do we make it the end of March so as not to look "Foolish?"
Wow! Each new theme is making Dandelion seem easier. I am glad this time we are doing an open process, because I feel I will need a lot of feedback to get this one going. Thank you for such a great idea to ponder.
I know what I am am doing!! A title sprang to mind. Instantly. Of course I shall change my mind tomorrow.... and when I say I know what I am doing I mean that I converted an intriguing and wide ranging theme into another wide-ranging word and that whilst I have a word I don't actually know what the quilt will look like and.... can I just check, is it OK to stress eat chocolate for this one too?
Ooh, this is going to be a challenge! I like the idea enormously but have no immediate idea about what to do. I do know that I am going to try to be abstract -- falling far too easily to the "tragically literal" view of things -- but with this theme, it is likely to make me abstract anyway. Good choice, Kristin!
Another great theme! My head is beginning to spin - always a good sign!
