QuiltCon 2022 Community Outreach
Last month we announced a design contest for the McKinney Modern Quilt Guild's contribution for QuiltCon 2022. Tuesday, August 3 (same day as our August meeting) is the deadline to turn in your submission. As a reminder, here is a brief summary of the guidelines:
* Use at least two, or up to all six, of the colors in the palette to create your quilt.
* Feature those angles! Make sure the theme is the focus of your piecing
* Quilts must be twin size, which is approximately 65” x 85”
Your plan should have fabric requirements as well as a cutting and piecing plan. Designs can be submitted until our August meeting.
FYI: The color palette in Bella Solids is as follows:
* White
* Boysenberry (9900-217)
* Geranium (9900-258)
* Amelia Orange (9900-161)
* Yellow (9900-24)
* Fig Tree Olive (9900-69)
Show and Tell
We want to see your recent finishes as well as any quilts within our theme.
To participate please email photos of your projects and a short description to mckinneymqg@gmail.com as soon as possible. Be sure to let us know if your show and tell is a surprise for someone so we don't post it on social media!
