Challenge Guidelines

Threads of Tradition at Historic Sauder Village sponsors the...
Village Quilt Challenge 2010

Theme: "Small Matters"... Each entrant will create a quilt design sewn entirely with pieced and/or appliqué blocks measuring 5 inches or less. Blocks may be set block-to-block, alternate block, on point, in a strippy or row set, medallion-style, sampler or in any manner of the artist’s choosing. Each entry must be quilted either by hand and/or machine. In this Challenge we are looking for original, small-scale quilts with a balance of scale and proportion, fine workmanship, and pleasing use of fabric and color that creates pattern, texture, depth and movement as the eye moves across the quilt. Judging will be based on the criteria above and all judges decisions are final. All 2010 Challenge quilts are subject to the same entry guidelines as all other categories in the quilt show.

Fabrics... For the 2010 challenge we have grouped Marcus Brothers’ Bonnie Blue Basics and Neutrals into three color-ways. (Blue/Green/Cheddar, Red/Brown/Black and Pink/Purple/Gray). Each challenge packet will contain 15 fat quarters of assorted prints including neutral prints that can work well for background fabrics. Each entrant may choose one or more color- ways to include in their challenge quilt or you can mix and match these fabrics to create your own color combination. To qualify for the Challenge, each entry must include an easily recognizable piece of at least ten different Bonnie Blue fabrics. Only Bonnie Blue fabrics by Marcus Brothers may be used in the challenge, no others may be added on the front of the quilt and binding. Backings may be of any fabric desired by the artist.

We would love to have you visit us to personally pick up your fabric packet, but if that is not possible, we will send your challenge fabrics to you for ^$44.98 including tax, shipping and handling per packet. If additional yardages are needed, all challenge fabrics may be viewed above and ordered by calling Threads of Tradition at 419.445.9610 or 800.590.9755.

Size... Maximum 36" x 36" and Minimum 24" x 24"
Your quilt can be any shape as long as the outside dimensions fall within these guidelines.

Registration... Please register for the Challenge by completing the quilt registration form which will be available online January 13, 2010. Your Challenge quilt must be pre-registered and can be included on the same form as any additional quilts you are entering in other categories. Check in for all pre-registered quilts, including Challenge quilts, will be Sunday, April 25, 2010 from 1:30 – 4:00 p.m. If it is impossible for you to hand deliver your entry, please complete the special shipping instruction form (also available January 13) and mail that form with your entry.

All qualifying Challenge quilts will be hung together in a special exhibit in the lobby of Founder's Hall during the week of Quilt Show 2010. Judging will be completed prior to the opening of Quilt Show. All Challenge quilts must include a cloth label with the name of the quilt, the owner's name and address sewn to the back of the entry. Hanging sleeves are no longer necessary.
