Madrona Road Challenge Quilts, Revealed!

On December 6, 2012, sixteen quilters from the Central Florida chapter of the Modern Quilt Guild, accepted Michael Miller Fabrics' challenge to make a quilt using fabrics from the "Madrona Road" collection. Quilters received six prints and one solid in the "ocean" colorway. Challenge rules stated:

1. Only Madrona Road fabrics, from either the "ocean" or "citrus" colorway, and solids may be added to your project.
2. The finished quilt should be no smaller than 80 linear inches, and may be made as large as you wish.
3. All aspects of piecing and quilting should be entirely the work of the quilter.
4. Should you not complete your challenge by January 28, 2013, you will be asked to donate $10.50 - the cost of the fabric - to the chapter's treasury.  

We're happy to say that all 16 quilters completed their projects! Here they are in last name alphabetical order.
