FSQ Ultimate Guild Challenge

2013 Friendship Star Quilt Guild Challenge theme:

Tutti-Frutti

• You may use any fabrics and quilt making techniques you choose. There is no specific challenge fabric.
• You must include fruit in the design and/or technique of your quilt. - Just be sure that anyone looking at your quilt can identify the fruit theme:
  • Type of technique (e.g. pineapple quilt) or
  • Representation or depiction of fruit
• Quilt must be square or rectangular, 35 - 45" on a side (maximum 160" perimeter), to be included in the AQS Ultimate Guild Challenge. Rectangles may be either landscape or portrait configuration. These quilts must be turned in on March 11, 2013.
• Entries must be quilted by hand or machine, or both. Non-quilted items will not be accepted.
• As in past years, eight of our challenge entries will be selected for submission to the American Quilters Society’s Ultimate Guild Challenge. For your quilt to be eligible for consideration, the following AQS rules must be observed:
  • Quilts must be in excellent condition, having no stains, pet hair, or smoke or other odors.
  • Each quilt must have a 4 inch hanging sleeve or rod pocket that is sewn 1/2 inch from the top edge (see AQS instructions: http://www.americanquilter.com/documents/shows_contests/sleeve_instructions.pdf) and a label containing the quilt maker’s name attached securely on the back.
  • Quilts displayed in a previous AQS contest (Paducah, Nashville, Des Moines) or made from pre-cut or stamped kits are ineligible.
  • Quilts must be a single unit and not framed with wood, metal, glass, etc.
