2024 SUMMER CHALLENGE

The summer challenge will be based on and inspired by a 1970’s vintage Christmas wrapping paper, a sample of which will be distributed at the May meeting. You will construct a quilted item using fabrics in the same color scheme as the paper. You may add any other fabrics that you wish, but the colors from the paper must be distinguishable in your quilt, and all the colors from the paper must be used. Bring your finished quilt to the September meeting (9/19/24), and we will vote for our favorite. The top 3 vote getters will win cash prizes ($50/$30/$20). You get to keep your item, but if you don’t want to and it is a size suitable for a Comfort Quilt, you can donate it to them.

ADDITIONAL GUIDELINES: The paper colors must be used within the quilt design and not just in the border(s). The minimum size is 10″ x 10″ and the maximum size is no more than 40″ on a side. All items must be constructed to include 3 layers (top, batting, back) and be held together with stitching. A qualifying item may include, but not be limited to, quilts, clothing, purses, totes, pillows, or other accessories, etc.

Any questions can be directed to Missy Smith. If you miss the May meeting, contact Missy for a paper sample [email protected], 401-447-5317.
