Quilters Crossing Biennial Challenges

The 2024 challenge quilt theme was "Panel the Possibilities".   Members had to use a panel as the basis of their quilt and had to use at least 50% of the panel.  Minimum size was 24" x 24", and maximum size was 80" x 100".  Deadline for submission was August 28, 2024, and quilts were on display at the Dunedin Fine Arts Center from September 13 - October 20th.   A great showing this year!

The 2022 challenge is complete.  No challenge fabric was required and no specific blocks were to be incorporated. A memory quilt was o be created within the size limit.  

Our 2020 challenge was displayed at the The Dunedin Fine Arts Center from Jan 18-Feb 23, 2020. The challenge was to "Let Your Imagination Fly", and incorporate two traditional blocks - American Beauty and Flying Geese in a 35 inch x 35 inch quilt. The dimensions are in honor of Quilters' Crossing's 35th anniversary

 Every quilt tells some kind of tale. This year's challenge asked participants to let their creative juices flow and step outside their quilting comfort zone to think outside the box in some way for this quilt to incorporate the challenge fabric to tell any kind of tale. Quilts were displayed at the The Dunedin Fine Arts Center.

 A recognizable amount of the challenge fabric was required to be used in the front a quilt that expressed happiness to the quilter. Quilts were displayed at the The Dunedin Fine Arts Center. The two slide shows here display the results - one in PDF format and one Windows Media format.

 Incorporating a purple focus fabric in a theme that depicted the quilter's passion was the challenge for 2012. All quilts were displayed during the month of March at the Progress Energy Art Gallery in downtown Newport Richey. The art gallery also showcased watercolor paintings with a theme of "Purple Passion" that were intermingled with the quilt display. 

 The challenge was in conjunction with Quilters Crossing's 25th anniversary. Members were challenged to incorporate a five-patch block in their design using any variety of black and white fabrics, one color fabric of their choice, and a common silver fabric. All quilts submitted for the challenge were exhibited at the Leepa-Ratner Museum of Art,
