Biannual Quilt Challenge

2025 Spring Challenge

Dreaming on a Stream

Slideshow Link

Your entry must be a quilt with these requirements:

1. Must enter and exit the piece under the 10” height on both sides. The Stream MUST be

the blue fabric that is handed out.

2. Try and make The Stream 2” at entry and exit, meaning 2” high.

3. Can expand and decrease in the piece and can go above the 10” height within the piece

(but MUST enter and exit anywhere under 10” high)

4. Must extend to both edges, even in the border and binding. Facing can be used instead

of binding. Add a 4” sleeve.

5. Can be any scene, (for example: mountain, city, country) or any artistic expression to fit

in with a stream. Hence, don’t feel threatened thinking it has to be appliqué.

When hung side by side, the stream will connect on each side. I encourage you to enter your

quilt in the county fair and our exhibit will show one large stream running through all our

works of art!

Please consider your talents of quilting but remember, this is a Challenge. Please challenge

yourself to try something new. You can applique or use pieced blocks, just trim it to size;

make a tree; make a field of tulips…. Make a log cabin or a simple block of flying

geese. BUT add the stream!

Entry fee is $5/fat quarter. I’ll have fabric available at guild meetings or you can email or

call me and make arrangements to meet up. Email: sue.mccollum17@gmail.com or phone:

Due to me by April 1, 2025. We will photograph for an online slide show for members to

vote on. Quilts will be displayed and winners selected at the General Meeting on April 16,

2025. All entrants will receive a “Wanda Ribbon” designed by Wanda and constructed by

others. You’ll vote for your favorite quilts, considering creativity, workmanship, compliance

with the challenge rules and anything that inspires you. 1st

, 2nd and 3rd place finishers will

receive prizes.
