The deadline for our annual quilt contest is two weeks away–“Inspired By” entries must be postmarked by June 1, 2014. Full details including a downloadable entry form can be found on our website and blog.
If your design or execution are still in neutral, here is a little inspiration game to get your motor in gear.
Match the Quilt to the Alliance Board Member
Five Quilt Alliance board members have offered photos of their in-progress or finished Inspired By entries:
Allie Aller
Lisa Ellis
Luke Haynes
Michele Muska
Victoria Findlay Wolfe
See if you can match up the artist with the quilt! In the left hand column below are the Inspiration quilts, selected from The Quilt Index or Q.S.O.S., and on the right are the original contest entries. Post your answers here as comments (A=board member’s name, etc…), and we’ll draw a winner on Monday, May 19 at 5pm Eastern from all those with correct answers.
