Annual Challenge Quilt
The challenge for 2022 will be an opportunity to use your creativity and imagination. Using two initials from your name, one initial will be your main color and another initial will become the quilt pattern/block. Then for one quilt pattern/block also add your favorite color.
How Will That Work?
Let’s check out an example:
| Selection | Initial | Example |
| Color | C | Charcoal, Chestnut or Chartreuse |
| Quilt Pattern | I | Nine Patch, New York Star, New Jersey |
| Favorite Color | n/a | Add your favorite color as a secondary color to one block in your quilt |
Challenge Details
The quilt size is a baby or crib size. Start at 30” x 40” and up to 36” x 52”. The quilts will be due for our November meeting. Once the challenge is complete, judged and admired, your quilt may be donated to Moms2Be. Entry fee will be $5 for each entry.

FAQs
- Can I use any other colors besides my color choice? Yes, but your color choice by initial should be the main color of the quilt. Remember to also use your favorite color in one quilt pattern/block.
