We dropped off this year’s challenge quilt at the state fair park last night. There were already several small wall hangings there, divided into four categories: pieced quilts, appliqued quilts, combination quilts, and those made by young quilters. As you might expect, nearly all the submitted quilts fell into the pieced category. From what I could tell, most of the other quilters were just as stymied by the “Vintage to Vogue” theme and by the busy 1930’s print as I was. I had hoped to get a glimpse of next year’s challenge fabric while we were there. In previous years, a quilt challenge volunteer would be slicing yardage into fat quarters while we dropped off quilts to be judged. I didn’t see any bolts, so I asked. It will be another Lori Holt 1930’s reproduction, a floral with a cream background and a larger print. And next year's theme will be "Anything Goes."
