The International Art Quilt Challenge
Colorplay Book
Our new self-published book is now available on Amazon
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.

I love these colors! This will be fun.
Yep - looks like Terry! I have the rusts, but the greens are going to be a problem for me again. I must get to the dye.
This will be a fun challenge -- an interesting direction than one I go to naturally and that's sort of the point of a challenge, isn't it?
It makes me remember years back when my office looked out on a church that was being restored after a fire. It had a beautiful tall steeple and they covered it in bright, new copper. It was so shiny and orange and really gleamed. And within a few years, it was a gorgeous, patina'd turquoise that was just as gorgeous.
I love rust dyeing so this will be fun.
Teal & terracotta. This is a familiar colour scheme. These are the colours we used when we were preparing our Sydney house for sale.
This has lots of potential. Hmm, to stick with a rust theme, or just go with the deserty, terra cotta colors. I wonder if there's a traditional block that references rust? I suspect Wagon Wheel would be about as close as I'd get. ;-)
Karen - I will be up for the rust dyeing, too. Already got a plan.
Yeah! At last someone picks a colour theme that matches my entire wardrobe!
Well I have the teal covered in my wardrobe plus shes and handbags. Not so much the rust tones..
I have some rust dyed fabric! Hmmmmm.
I'm the oddball on this one because I'm of the opinion that this is the hardest challenge yet. I can do the blue-green, but rust! I've conquered orange, so now I'll move on to rust.
Ooooh, yumbo! I like these :)
