Urban Challenge Deadline: May 26, 2020

We are excited about the entries we’ve received for our Urban Challenge, originally set for an April reveal, but now set for a June 13th reveal at our upcoming Zoom Meeting. We just wanted to remind you about the parameters of our guild’s 2020 challenge and encourage you to get making — it’s a small quilt, so it can be made quickly, in a day or maybe two.

Remember this? It was our original advertisement for our Challenge, and included a 4″ swatch of blue fabric, which you must use in your quilt somehow. More is okay, but at this date it may be hard to get locally; take your swatch in to match if you need to buy. The original was Lapis, a Painter’s Palette solid fabric from Paintbrush Studios.

The full details and a Google “Mood Board” are found on this post.

Email a good-quality picture of your challenge quilt to: iemodernquiltguild@gmail.com
Please include:

• Quilt Name/Title
• Dimensions
• Quilter’s full name
• Origin of Quilt Design (original design, variation on an existing block, pattern, etc.)
• A Few Details about what you want to say about it. This might include some construction details or things you struggled over, or things at which you were successful. It might also include what prompted you to make it, or who it is for. Pretend you are standing in front of us at our Guild Meetings, and give us the quilt’s biography. We’d love to hear it!
(We’ll edit them for clarity and punctuation.)

That’s it! Thanks for entering, and we’ll send you a reply mail letting you know we received it.
