2017 - 2018 Challenge - Embellish to Your Hearts Content

2/13/2018

Since our challenge last year was very simple due to the amount of work we put in on the quilt show, this year's challenge will be lots of fun and as challenging as you want it to be, just remember to have FUN!

The only MUST have:
You MUST have either an Appliqued, Stitched, Painted, Drawn or a "Cheater" panel for your quilt center.  Do you see where I'm going? Did this bring up lots of questions? 

​As the name of this challenge implies, Embellish, Embellish, Embellish!!!!! You can use any materials for embellishment as in beads, mirrors, threads, paint, ink, etc. etc, etc. Any technique can be used as in machine, hand, crocheted, knitted, glued, etc, etc, etc. 

**********NO CONSTRAINTS************
No size constraints
No color constraints
No border constraints
No fabric constraints
No medium (materials) constraints
​
Yes, you read it correctly, there are no constraints. Let me repeat this again, this challenge has no constraints!
​
I’m trying something a little bit different this year as I would really like our new quilters to join us in this challenge. In an effort to make it easier on them and so they won’t feel the pressure of competing against seasoned quilters, they too can do the above any way they want. If our new quilters made less than 10 quilts, they will comprise a separate group and will only be judged with other quilters that have made less than 10 quilts.  

One last note, lets all make this FUN!
​Since our challenge last year was very simple due to the amount of work we put in on the quilt show, this year's challenge will be lots of fun and as challenging as you want it to be, just remember to have FUN!

Your quilt has to be sandwiched, quilted and bound. Please do not forget your quilt label.
​
SO REMEMBER:  The only Must have is your center!

I'm looking forward to seeing all of the beautiful quilts you come up with. The completion date is the February 2018 meeting.
