2015 State Fair Challenge Quilt



We visited the Utah State Fair yesterday to see what the judges thought of my entry and to take a look at the other challenge quilts. There was a wide range of talents on display. Some of the wall hangings were the product of experts in piecing, applique and quilting. Others were made by children beginning to learn their art. I thought there were not as many quilts in this year’s competition, but I was pleased to see a few men’s names among the entries. I won’t know until the fair is over what the judges had to say about my quilt, or even which category it was placed in. In the past I’ve had ribbons for “Best Use of Theme,” “Best Use of Color” and “Best Use of a Traditional Pattern.” The fabric for next year’s challenge is a tone-on-tone chevron print in orange; my very least favorite color. I have no idea what I’ll do with it.
