This is a great challenge for everyone on TQS, but especially great for traditional quilters who desire to create something "artistic." The winner of this challenge will win a giclee´ fine art print of Ricky's "Summer Storm in Clay County, Texas.
In TQS episode 406 Ricky demonstrated how to create a "Gridded Art Quilt" by using a few theme blocks and then assembling them together using common traditional units -such as half-square triangles, quarter-square triangles, four patches, etc. Using the approach presented in that episode, we hope many of you will enjoy participating in this challenge.
1. All designs must be original.
2. All designs must utilize a few 'theme' blocks mixed with a variety of traditional units.
3. Entry can be any size.
4. Designs must be based within a grid system. You choose your grid size.
5. All entries must be completed - no tops or unbound entries accepted.
6. Members of the ARJJ team will select finalists.
7. Winner will be announced in the August 4, 2009 TQS Newsletter. |
