Quilt Challenge Guildlines
-
The quilt must measure 20” high and 20” wide, including any borders and binding.
-
There must be some quilting, but embellishments may be added.
-
The piece may be machine or hand quilted, but not just in the border if you have one. The piece may be professionally quilted with the quilter's name included on the entry form.
-
A label on the back of your quilt is required and should include the quilt's title, your name, and the year made.
-
ALL entries MUST have a hanging sleeve. The sleeve should be placed 2” from the TOP EDGE of the quilt and should be a continuous 2½“ wide sleeve across the back of the quilt. A slit will be made in the sleeve by the Arts Center to facilitate hanging. Quilts without a proper hanging sleeve meeting these specifications will NOT be accepted.
-
Any quilt submitted for display by Southport Quilters' Guild will be reviewed by a committee consisting of a representative of the venue, the Challenge coordinator, a board member, and the president of the board. The decision to accept or reject a quilt is final.
Challenge quilt drop off date is Tuesday, August 13, 10:00 am until 4:00 pm at Anderson Arts Center, 6603 3rd Avenue, Kenosha. Please be sure to register your quilt for the show. Quilts will be hung at the guild quilt show in September and will be professionally judged.
