Spring Challenge, 2026
Quilting Bucket List
Instructions:Do you hve a “Quilting Bucket List?” You may not call it that, but we all have some sort of running list of things we want to learn or try to expand our quilting skills. It may be a new technique, a challenging quilt block, a fuzzy idea of a design for a project that uses something we’ve saved, such as a stack of vintage hankies, or even an intriguing pattern we bought long ago from a guild meeting speaker. For this challenge, you will create a wall-hanging sized quilt that uses something from your own quilting bucket list. It doesn’t matter what you choose as long as you can identify what you set out to learn from the project. This is not a challenge to complete one of your UFOs; the focus is on learning something new.
Size Limit: The quilt should be designed as a wall-hanging – no larger than 40″ per side.
Due-date: Quilts will be displayed at our June, 2026 Guild meeting. Plan to arrive early to check-in your quilt. Pin a card to the lower right corner of the quilt including a phrase or sentence describing what you set out to learn and cross off your bucket list. Do not include your name on the card. If your name is on a label on the quilt back, please cover it with tape or paper.
Your quilt must be complete….quilted and bound!
Prizes: 1. Best demonstration of what you set out to learn. 2. Best use of the color 3. Best design/technique.
