We have TWO challenges for 2025 - Art Quilt Challenge and Tiny Quilt Challenge! 

We'd love to see YOUR projects hanging at the 2025 Quilt Show - see details below.

LAST-MINUTE 50TH ANNIVERSARY 

TINY QUILT CHALLENGE 

Here’s a last-minute quilt challenge for you.  Make a tiny quilt (4 by 6-inches) for a special display at the SCVQA September Quilt Show.  This is postcard size and would be like making a 50th Anniversary congratulatory card for the organization!  Keep it simple, make it original, and have fun using small scraps and embellishments.  The only requirement is the size—4 by 6-inches.  A tiny quilt only takes about 1 hour to make, so make several.  After the Show, you might want to trade your card(s) with quilty friends.

For inspiration, look for quilted postcards on Pinterest.  Don’t make a postcard, just a tiny piece of art! Start with a 4 by 6-inch piece of felt or batting—or Peltex or Timtex if you want to make it stiff.  Add a background-foundation layer and your design embellishments (appliques, hand or machine embroidery, fabric paint, threads, yarns, buttons or beads).  Edges can be finished with a satin or decorative stitch.  Or use a narrow binding that is stitched to the front of the tiny quilt, turned to the back and fused in place.  Fuse on a backing and you have a tiny quilt.  Be creative!
