These are some of the Community Outreach Challenge quilts displayed at QuiltCon. Though I don't know exactly how many were shown, the Modern Quilt Guild (MQG) originally stated that the first 80 quilts submitted would be accepted. Each MQG chapter had the option of offering their quilt for sale at QuiltCon, with proceeds benefitting Young Arts Arizona.
Again, these quilts have a color palette and theme. Fabrics used were to be at least four of these eight Moda Bella solids. Similarly-colored prints could also be used. The theme was "Lines and Bars." Size constraints were 60" to 65" X 80" to 85".
At the right is our Central Florida MQG @centralfloridamqg quilt called A Pathway Through.

Our chapter always keeps our quilt to donate to New Life Christian Church in Wildwood, Florida, where we meet, at no charge, for monthly general meeting. The church then sells the quilt to raise monies for their annual contribution to Rapha International.

Thank you so much for your reviews about Quiltcon. It's so interesting to see what you like! Thank you one more time :-)
ReplyDeleteThe Community Outreach Challenge Quilts is my favorite category in QuiltCon. I love seeing the diverse interpretations of the same theme!
ReplyDeleteIt's always fun to see all the variety in the challenge quilt category. I find it interesting to see quilts with such different designs and yet the underlying common color palette ties them together.
ReplyDeleteThis was a fun exhibit. I like your group quilt and the way you use it to give back to the host church.
ReplyDeleteWere all the quilts in this category made for charities? Great job to your group and donating it to the church where you meet!
