Guild Atmosphere Sew-Along!

As a project for the COVID quarantine, members of the guild decided to complete the Atmosphere pattern Quilt Sew-Along, led by the pattern designer, Lee Heinrich.  Our group met regularly by Zoom to share progress and creative choices.  The results are below (if I missed someone, please send your photo to me and I will get it added!).  As you can see there are many different but equally beautiful interpretations.
