2017 Challenge Quilt : Orca-Strings
A challenge has been issued to all members to make a quilt in the above theme for our quilt show. Let's have a good turnout for this wonderful event! This is anonymous, so please don't share with your buddies about what you are making!! So get inspired and lets see some great quilts!
EQG members will vote on the quilts at the September 5, 2017 business meeting. There will be no names on the quilts...only numbers. The Challenge Quilts will be displayed as a group at the 2017 Quilt show with the quilter's names and winning ribbons attached.
Here are the rules:
*Make a quilt with "Orca" in the theme. Use a 3x5 card to write an Artist's Statement in 50 words or less to explain the quilt's connection to the theme. These must be pinned to the front of the quilt. (Cindy has generously offered to type up all the artist's statements...thank you, Cindy)
*SIZE: minimum 8" on any side; maximum of 24" on any side
*There will be 3 categories, each receiving a ribbon and one awarded for over-all favorite. Quilter's must select one of the following categories:
1- pieced
