• Take inspiration from the theme: The Red Poppy

|
• Use any techniqueThe art piece must have a top, middle and back held together by quilting stitches. Since this is a contest sponsored by a fabric company, we are looking for work that shows off our fabric. |
• Use any embellishmentThe art pieces travel around the country for over a year and must be able to withstand the journey. Refrain from the use of items that will detach or damage other pieces (such as glitter). |
• Get creative and try something new!There are a limited number of spots (225) in The Traveling Exhibit. By entering your quilt into this challenge you must understand that your piece may not be selected to travel. The jury process is subjective and should not be taken personally.Make a quilt that YOU love and that makes YOU happy! |
