Special Challenges
The Show Chairs’ Challenge and The President’s Challenge are both non-judged categories. All quilts entered will hang together in a special exhibit. If you wish for your entry to be judged by our professional quilt judge, you must enter it in one of the judged categories. Please mark the entry form to indicate that it is part of a special challenge. It will hang with the special exhibit after it has been judged in whatever category is appropriate for the piece.
Example: If you make an original piece based on a photo of your family for the President’s Challenge, you can choose to have that judged as an Art Quilt: Pictorial. Also indicate it is part of the President’s Challenge, and it will be hung at the show as part of that exhibit.

Show Chairs Challenge: We challenge you to make a blue and white quilt to hang in our special anniversary exhibition. The quilt may be any size and any style. Please no apparel or bags, only quilts!

President's Challenge: This is me! This is us! Your challenge for the quilt show is to create a 20” square quilt that represents YOU. It can be traditional, modern, artsy, etc. It might be the first block you ever created or a quilt in the style that is your favorite. It might be an art quilt showing a favorite scene, pet or a portrait or avatar of you. The design is entirely up to you.
Requirements: * measures 20” x 20” * needs to be quilted * contains some blue fabric * represents YOU * explain how it represents you in your quilt description when you enter it.
