Quilt Show Challenge projects were displayed first.
Elaine S designed this wall hanging for her quilt show challenge and calls it Northern Lights.
Melanie did this modern twist of a Hudson Bay Blanket in greys. she explained that the short black
lines woven into Hudson Bay blankets just above the bottom set of stripes are
referred to as "points." About four inches in length or two inches
for half points, they indicate the finished overall size (area) of a blanket
and allow a blanket's size to be easily determined while remaining folded. The
"point" system was invented by French weavers in the mid-18th-century
(point sizes of 3.5 (twin), 4 (double),
6 (queen)
and 8 (king).[4]
)
