Your Challenge Quilt will be made of 2 quilt blocks and 2 colors determined by a roll of the dice. With the challenge chairpersons, you will roll two dice two times. First, roll two dice to find out which two blocks you will use. Then, roll two dice to find out which two colors you will use. Each number on the dice corresponds with a quilt block and a color found on graphics below. Do you want to add borders, applique, sashing, embellishments? That's up to you. Let your creative juices run wild! If you have questions, please contact chairpersons, Judy Blum or Kim Voss.

Pair-A-Dice Challenge Rules

  1. Your quilt must contain at least 1 EACH of the 2 blocks chosen.

  2. Your quilt must contain the 2 colors chosen; use any shade of those colors you like; just be certain the color is very true. Example: Red looks red and not pink. Blue looks blue and not teal, etc.

  3. You do not have to use solid fabrics; prints are ok if they read solid and the color is obvious.

  4. You may add black and/or white if you want.

  5. You may add plain sashing and/or plain borders. Plain meaning NOT pieced.

  6. You may embellish your quilt with beads, trims, applique, etc. All embellishments MUST be in your color palette which does include black and/or white if you so choose.

  7. Swapping block units or colors with another member after rolling the dice is not allowed.

SQG Quilt Challenge Guildlines

  • The quilt must measure 20” high and 20” wide, including any borders and binding.

  • The piece may be machine or hand quilted. It must be quilted all over, 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 is to be placed at the TOP EDGE of the quilt and be a continuous sleeve across the back. Dimensions will be forthcoming. A slit will be made in the sleeve by the Anderson Art 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.

​
