2026 Raffle Quilt
Member Challenge
Guild Members have been invtied to join our challenge.
The theme for our 2026 challenge is “Making a Grand Entrance”. Your design can be anything that is your interpretation of the theme. Use your imagination and have fun. We encourage everyone in the guild to participate in this challenge.
QUILTS ENTERED IN THE CHALLENGE WILL BE DISPLAYED AT OUR
SEPTEMBER 2026 QUILT SHOW!!
#1 RULE: HAVE FUN!!! Use your imagination! Your creation can be traditional
or contemporary.
REQUIRED! Your challenge must be in the shape of a rectangle measuring 20″
by 24 inches. Your challenge must be a “quilt”… 3 layers including front, back
and batting and quilted. Your rectangle can be either vertical or horizontal. Make
sure any embellishments you add won’t droop when we hang your challenges.
Also make sure your sleeve is on the correct edge on the back so we know which
end is up for hanging.
Methods of Construction: You are free to use whatever construction, or quilting
methods work best for your creation (i.e., machine pieced, hand pieced, paper
pieced, machine appliqued, hand appliqued, machine or hand quilted, etc.). We
encourage you to challenge yourself and be creative.
Fabric Requirement: You can use whatever fabrics you want in your challenge.
Your fabrics do not all have to be 100% cotton. Embellishments are optional.
Hanging Sleeve and Label: The quilt back must have a hanging sleeve. Make
sure you put a label with your name on the back of your challenge. Give credit to
the source that inspired you. Please cover up your label with a piece of paper,
fabric or tape before handing it in for voting at our guild meeting so it’s a
secret as to who made it.
Due Date: Finished challenges are due at our September 12, 2026 guild meeting for judging by your quilt guild peers and subsequently will be hung at our September 2026 quilt show for attendees to vote on their favorite. All guild members attending the September 2026 meeting will have the opportunity to vote anonymously for their favorite challenge quilt. Ribbons will be awarded for guild favorite, and the top favorites of show viewers.
If you have any questions about the challenge, please contact Mary Ann Karpinski.
