The Filanderers (maybe try the Queen's dictionary?) was a small quilt group that displayed their quilts at one of the church. They did these wonderful projects together--over time. They had been a group for about 10 years, I think. Started with 6 of them now down to 5. The project that Wendy is referring to a set of journal quilts (about legal size). And Wendy, monthly wasn't my idea, it was how often they did them. They picked topics for 10 months of the year (book title with color, eg) and made the quilt and revealed in 30 days. They agreed ahead of time on landscape or portrait. (these are supposed to be portrait so just turn your tablet...)
These were very prolific women and this is only one of the things they worked on.

A3 vs A4. Paper size here. A4 is closest to our 8.5x11. It starts as A0 then each is half of the one before it. So A3 was 16.6x 23.4 inches. So not legal size as I said above.
From Wikipedia.
The international paper size standard, ISO 216, is based on the German DIN 476 standard for paper sizes. ISO paper sizes are all based on a single aspect ratio of square root of 2, or approximately 1:1.4142. The base A0 size of paper is defined to have an area of 1 m2. Rounded to millimetres, the A0 paper size is 841 by 1,189 millimetres (33.1 in × 46.8 in).
Successive paper sizes in the series A1, A2, A3, and so forth, are defined by halving the preceding paper size across the larger dimension. The most frequently used paper size is A4 measuring 210 by 297 millimetres (8.3 in × 11.7 in).
The significant advantage of this system is its scaling: if a sheet with an aspect ratio of sqrt{2} is divided into two equal halves parallel to its shortest sides, then the halves will again have an aspect ratio of sqrt{2}. Folded brochures of any size can be made by using sheets of the next larger size, e.g. A4 sheets are folded to make A5 brochures. The system allows scaling without compromising the aspect ratio from one size to another—as provided by office photocopiers, e.g. enlarging A4 to A3 or reducing A3 to A4. Similarly, two sheets of A4 can be scaled down and fit exactly 1 sheet without any cutoff or margins.
The behavior of the aspect ratio is easily proven: Let a and b be the long side and the short side of the paper respectively. The imposed initial condition is that a/b=sqrt{2}, let c be the length of the short side after folding it in half. That is c=a/2, if we take the ratio of the newly folded paper we have that:
frac{b}{c}=frac{b}{frac{a}{2}}=frac{2}{frac{a}{b}} =frac{2}{sqrt{2}}=sqrt{2}
Therefore the aspect ratio is preserved for the new dimensions of the folded paper.

Good morning, Wendy, Did you ever get a photo of the stag?

Oh you were talking about that idea. For the pictures that Wendy is showing, one person made the longer one and then other members of the group made the smaller companion quilts to it. I don't remember how long they had to do these. It was a great idea, but probably more difficult to achieve internationally.

Rita, your thoughts on "falandering" give clarity to my quilt life. I am "Jack of all trades/techniques and master of none. But I continue to be drawn to new ways to create my craft. It's certain, "Flandering" fits my quilting style. Now its back to the book that arrived with the return of my "whisper quilt" to learn more about the Scottish Quilt Flanderers.
