Your challenge for 2009 will be to make a quilt interpreting the word green in any way that you like, but your
quilt must include some recycled materials. Click for the Challenge Entry Form
Some examples of recycled materials are: used clothing, men’s neck ties, coffee filters, tea bags, theater
tickets, dryer lint, dryer sheets, credit cards, paint samples, old buttons, etc, etc. Please be sure that whatever
you use will not transfer anything undesirable to other quilts such as odor, moisture, rust, dye, mold, etc.
Some suggestions are for interpreting the word green are: envy, nature, environmentalism, hope, Ireland,
money, etc. I’m sure you can think of lots more. First, second and third prizes will be given for each of these
criteria:
- Best use of recycled materials
- Best use of the color green
- Best environmental message
The quilts must be 18” x 22” but may be either vertical or horizontal orientation. The common size makes them
much easier to display and to send to Lancaster.
The quilts must have a four-inch hanging sleeve at the top and a label with the quilt’s name, your name,
address and phone number on the back. Since these quilts will go to Lancaster, they should not have anything
on them that will make shipping difficult.
The quilts must be ready to hand in at the January meeting and will be displayed and voted upon at the
February meeting.
