One floral fabric was chosen to cut into 6 strips and many sets of equilateral triangles were cut from the layers. Fifty members created fifty kaliedocopic hexagons. The shapes were then placed on top of a panel depicting a Parisian scene. Free motion quilting was done in multi-color threads on a domestic swing machine. It took the guild 3 months to complete.\n[caption id=\"attachment_6052\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"710\"]<a href=\"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/quilt-guilds\/meet-the-citrus-belt-quilt-guild\/attachment\/citrus-belt\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6052\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6052\" src=\"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Citrus-Belt.jpg\" alt=\"Quilt Guild Opportunity Quilt\" width=\"710\" height=\"929\" \/><\/a> Autumn Amour[\/caption]\nTickets for the quilt are still being sold for $1.00 each.
