Challenge Quilts

Each year the East Cobb Quilters' Guild has a Challenge Quilt for its members.   Below are the rules for our next Challenge, due March 2009.

 

NAME THAT TUNE

Can you name that tune in 4 patchworks?  3 appliqués? 1 landscape?  Or, perhaps another quilting technique?

The 2009 Guild Challenge is to depict your favorite song in a quilt top.

The rules are simple:

1. The quilt top must represent a song title of your choosing.
   
   

2. You must use the challenge fabric in the quilt top and it must be recognizable in at least a 3-inch square in the top.  (Challenge fabric is available for purchase in fat-eighths during monthly Guild meetings)
   
   

3. Must be quilted by machine, hand or both.
   

4. Size: 
   Width 30” to 60”
   Length 30” to 60"
   
   These sizes meet Knoxville AQS entry criteria - We will vote on up to 8 quilts from our challenge to be entered into the Knoxville 2009 show.

5. Each quilt must have a 4” sleeve and a label on the back stating the name of the quilt and the owner.

Quilts will be displayed and voted on during the March 2009 Guild meeting.
