Challenge Quilts Traveling Exhibit

10:00 a.m.

 

 

The twenty-six quilts in this exhibit were made in response to Past KHQS President Sarah Scarborough Frye’s challenge to KHQS members. 

 

The Challenge involved finding a picture (photo, painting, etc.) that the quiltmaker liked (this could be one she/he had made, or one from a magazine or online), and, using that picture as color inspiration, choose between three and seven colors to be used in a quilt.  The purpose of the picture was for choosing fabrics only; an artistic interpretation or duplication was not necessary.  Only solid fabrics could be used.  The quilts in this trunk show are uniformly sized at exactly 18” wide by 24” long per the Challenge rules.

 

The presentation will begin at 10:00 a.m., and will last about an hour.  Those who wish to stay for the question-and-answer time afterward will be welcome to do so.

 

Everyone is invited to come for refreshments and door prizes as KHQS member Donna Duncan shares the quilts made in response to this challenge.
