Well, I just received a notice that my first response didn't go through. I
hope I'm not repeating myself!
My guild once passed out a, well, ugly fabric. We had to use it in a
project which didn't have to be a quilt. Another time, we had to use two of
the same block in two different sizes in a quilt. This year we voted on our
favorite block, color and shape. Consequently, our challenge quilt will
have to include a Log Cabin block, blue, and a star. It's not due until
March, so I haven't come up with, or heard about any of the projects.

Ours is essentially always the same. You get a sealed envelope with
three fabrics in it. We can make anything - small quilt, table runner,
wearable, doll dress - but we must use recognizable amounts of each
fabric.
Some years we can add other fabrics, some years they limit us as to how
much or how many other fabrics.
The past few years the coordinators have added a twist. One year we had
to also use ric rack, another year we had to use a yo yo somehow, once a
piece of gold trim from the fabric store was in the envelope (though we
could buy and use a different gold trim of our choice it had to be on
there).
Some coordinators have chosen tricky fabrics to work with and others
have not.
We keep ours pretty simple, but it's always fun to see what people come
up with.
