Construction Techniques:
Each Not Quite Black & White challenge bundle contains one focus fabric (the fabric with some color), three black and white prints, and two solids (black and white). All challenge entries must include all of the fabrics in the challenge bundle. Participants may choose to add two solid fabrics that coordinate with the focus fabric in the challenge bundle. The binding for each entry can be from any fabric of your choice.
Entry Requirements:
Each entry must comply with all entry requirements and guidelines of the Sauder Village Quilt Show, found on this webpage. 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 36” x 36” / Minimum 24” x 24”. Your quilt can be any shape as long as the outside dimensions fall within these guidelines.
Fabric:
For the 2023 Not Quite Black & White challenge, we have selected four fabrics from the fabric line “Black, White and Bright” by Christa Watson, our guest artist for 2023 Quilt Show and Century Solids from Andover Fabrics.
