Construction Techniques:
Each Modern Vintage challenge entry must include a mix of vintage blocks or quilt top fragments with American Made Brand solid fabrics. Borders and/or sashing may be added if desired. All vintage blocks and top fragments must be named on the exhibit tag.
Entry Requirements:
Each entry must also comply with all entry requirements and guidelines of the Sauder Village Quilt Show, which may be found online at:Quilt Exhibition Entry Guidelines. Since this is a design challenge, each entry must be designed, pieced and/or appliqued by a single artist; entries that have been designed and the top constructed by more than one person will not qualify for judging. If someone other than the quilt artist does the quilting, the quilter must be given credit on the “Quilted by” line on the entry form.
Maximum 36” x 36” / Minimum 24” by 24”. Your quilt can be any shape as long as the outside dimensions fall within these guidelines.
Credits:
The idea for this challenge evolved from the special exhibit “Twisted” at Houston Quilt Market 2016.
Fabric:
For the 2018 challenge we have selected American Made Brand solids. Challenge fabric bundles are available for purchase at Threads of Tradition Quilt Shop. Each bundle will include six fat quarters. To qualify for the challenge each entrant’s quilt must include at least three American Made Brand solids for the front and binding of the quilt. The entrant must also include vintage quilt blocks or vintage quilt top fragments to complement their design.
