Challenging Fabric Challenge Update
If you're participating, here are your next steps. Your photos are due by 10/31!
When your quilt is completed, please send a few good pictures to Julianne along with a little statement about your quilt. Think of what inspired you, what you were thinking of when you made it, how you incorporated your fabric, etc. Your photos will be the ones that we use on the voting website, so take your time, find good light, and highlight the best aspects of your quilt.
Your quilt will go into a Challenging Fabric Quilt Viewer’s Choice Challenge. We will share the voting link in early November, so you can share it with your friends and family during the voting period.
Hurry! The hop ends on 10/31!
