2025 Challenge – Trips and Travels

The challenge for 2025 is called, “Trips and Travels.“  Use your imagination and creativity to make a quilt that tells the story of a trip you have taken.

Rules:

  1. The quilt can be any shape, but not more than 120″ in circumference.
  2. It must be made entirely by the entrant.
  3. It must have a hanging sleeve, and the quilt maker’s name must be on the back of the quilt, covered by a piece of paper.
  4. Entrants may use any type of construction: piecing, applique, hand- or machine-quilted. (Not tied.)
  5. Must contain 1 button (either with holes to sew on or a shank on
    the back type) sewn on the front of the quilt somewhere (but, if needed, it can be glued on).
  6. Additional embellishments are allowed as desired.
  7. A ½-page sheet (typed) telling the quilt’s story is required.
  8. A picture of your completed quilt must be submitted to ???? (Nan) by 6/1/2025. Include the entrant’s name, the name of the quilt, and the dimensions.
  9. Voting will be done online.
  10. Quilts must be turned in no later than the June 2025 guild meeting and will be displayed at both the June and July general meetings.  (Either bring it to the meeting or get it to either of the Challenge Coordinators prior to the meeting so that they can bring it to the meeting.)
  11. The challenges will be hung together at the 2025 Quilt Show, but cannot be sold at the show. They must be picked up at the end of the show, unless other arrangements have been made beforehand. (They may be sold, donated to the online fundraiser, the 2025 small quilt auction, given to an unsuspecting family member, etc.)
