It's time to get started on your Challenge Quilt for 2027. This year the challenge is a bit different: it's not a competition; it's an invitation to give. All entries will be displayed at the June Festival of Quilts and be available for purchase by show attendees.
Theme: Mini-QuiltsFor the 2027 Festival of Quilts show, the quilt challenge will have a small twist! Instead of a competition, you are invited to participate by stitching and donating a 24-inch square (or smaller) mini quilt that will be on sale at the show for $20. Consider repurposing sample blocks from classes, extra blocks from completed projects, or embroidery blocks. Maybe try a new technique or perfect one that you are working on and turn your efforts into a mini quilt. Any of these efforts are good candidates to use for donating mini quilts to sell in the boutique at the 2027 Festival of Quilts. Linda Starkey or any of the FOQ chairs will be collecting mini quilts at the monthly guild meetings starting in October, 2026. | Guidelines:
