Guild Challenge Entries

Each year, the executive board of my quilt guild issues a Challenge to it's members. We sell (for $5.) a fat quarter of fabric sealed in a paper bag, which also contains the Challenge rules.
This year, we used this fabric in these two colorways. If you got the red fabric, but wanted the blue or vise versa, you could trade with someone, or just buy another bag and hope you got the color you really wanted. The rules of this year's Challenge were: you had to use a recognizable amount of the challenge fabric in your quilt, it had to be 30 inches by 30 inches or smaller, had to have a top, batting backing, and be quilted and bound.
We offered a choice of theme suggestions for those who needed a little inspiration. The themes were Earth/Water/Fire/Ice, or Save the Earth. We chose something we thought would be open to many different interpretations. Many groans were heard as the bags were opened!


> We had 17 entries. Unfortunately this post was not able to load the last 2, I think I exceeded the space limit with all these photos.

First place was the Tree of Life, second from the bottom. One of the members of my art quilt splinter group won!! Second place was the undersea life scene, third was the red planet in distress piece. And, Viewer's Choice was also the undersea life piece.

Mine was the Mermaid!

We all had a great time. Can't wait to do it again next year!!
