The 2025 challenge quilt theme has been chosen - Take A Page. The Challenge is open to all guild members. Your challenge is to make a quilted project that is related to something on your assigned magazine page. It could be color related, based on a word or phrase on that page, or based on a picture on the page, colors, etc. This is your opportunity to be creative. The 2025 Quilt Challenge is being coordinated by Debbi Trevino, Jan Yancey, and Lucy Guyaz. Reach out to one of them if you have any questions.
Each member will receive a different magazine that has absolutely nothing to do with quilting or fabrics. Directions will be given at the guild meetings on how to determine your PAGE, protecting your PAGE, and registering your PAGE for the upcoming show. Protect your magazine page in the provided plastic sleeve, you will need to turn it in with your finished challenge quilt. January 2025 will be the deadline for distributing pages for the challenge.
Rules:
- Must be a current TCQG member to submit an entry.
- Entries must reflect something from the PAGE that was assigned (word, phrase, picture, color, shape, etc.)
- Any shape, any fabric, any embellishment is allowed.
- Max circumference of 150", minimum is 72". Calculate: Combine all 4 sides (30" + 40" + 30" +40")
