Challenge Instructions
The purpose of the challenge was to use a photograph to help
choose the colors for a quilted project - quilt, wall hanging,
or other quilted item.
1.
Members purchased a packet for a nominal fee.
2.
The photo in the packet was to be used only to
pick the colors for the quilt. One black, one
white, one tan and/or one cream could be added as neutrals. All other colors
must come from the photo.
3.
Members could use any pattern to make their “quilt”, including
jackets, purses, etc. There was no size limitation.
4 .
Items were judged by members and guests at the
Octo br meeting by picture category. There were 6 pictures – thus 6 categories. Judging
was to be based on color
interpretation of the picture.
5 .
First and Second prizes were be awarded in each
category.
If you are interested information about using photos
for color choices here are some resources.

Miami
Valley Quilters' Guild
An Ohio Quilt Guild
for Quilters and Fabric Artists in the Dayton, Ohio, Region
Each
year members of the Miami Valley Quilters Guild are "challenged"
to undertake a unique quilting project. Following
instructions set by the Challenge chair, members are invited to
create their entry, sometimes involving specific colors or
themes, but always allowing for a variety of techniques and
styles to foster creativity. To complete the Challenge,
members exhibit their quilts at a guild meeting where members of
the group vote on their choices in a variety of categories.
The
Miami Valley Quilters' Guild is more than just a club, we are
a diverse group with more than 200 members from all areas of
interest and all quilting skill
levels. Members include quilters, quilt collectors,
quilting teachers, designers and those simply interested in the
art and craft of quilting. Members of the group have varied
interests: traditional quilts and fabric art - hand piecing and
machine work - long-arm machine quilting, home machine quilting
and, of course, hand quilting.
