Guild Challenge

As announced at the July meeting, we've decided to make our guild challenge for this year the same as the American Patchwork and Quilting Challenge for QuiltCon. This will be a great way to dip your toe in the water of show quilting if you've never done it before, but there is absolutely no pressure to submit to QuiltCon.

The challenge is simply to create a quilt using two, and only two colors. That's pretty much it. There are no restrictions on technique. Just keep in mind that for this challenge, each shade counts as a single color. Navy and periwinkle are two different colors. (Yes, we're ignoring the basics of color theory here, but I din't write the rules.) Tone on tone prints are fine, but each tone counts as a color and all fabrics used must match one of those two colors exactly. Also note that quilting thread must be one of the two colors (invisible thread is fine too, though). Here's a link to the general description (it's the first challenge listed, not the Michael Miller fabric challenge). Here's an article with a more thorough explanation from APQS.

There are no size requirements for this challenge. Finished quilts may be any size. A two inch square is fine as long as it's three layers quilted together and bound or faced. It can also be as large as you want.

Quilts are due at the November meeting. Bring it in a non see through bag, and cover the label (painter's tape works great). Voting will be anonymous.

There's no need for a hanging sleeve.

Also, there's been a little bit of confusion among members who are also in the Pensacola Quilter's Guild. This is NOT in any way related to the blue and white theme for the 2020 quilt show. That's just a weird coincidence.
