Construction Techniques:
Each Winter Traditions challenge entry must include a minimum of four wools from the challenge bundle as well as the background fabric from the bundle. Participants may add any other fabrics of their choosing to complete the quilt.
Entry Requirements:
Each entry must also comply with all entry requirements and guidelines of the Sauder Village Quilt Show, found online at www.saudervillage.org/quiltshowexhibit. This is a design challenge and each entry must be designed, pieced and/or appliqued by a single artist. Entries that have been designed and 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.
Size:
Maximum 24” x 24” / Minimum 18” by 218”. Your quilt can be any shape as long as the outside dimensions fall within these guidelines.
Fabric:
For the 2022 Winter Traditions Challenge, we have selected wools from Primitive Gatherings. Each bundle will include 6 pieces of wool (approx. 7” x 8”) and ó yard of background. The backgrounds were selected from the Semi Solids collection from Marcus Fabrics. To qualify for the challenge, each entrant must use the background fabric and a minimum of four selected wools.
