MMF & MQG Fabric Challenge!

We are SO EXCITED about the challenge for QuiltCon 2018 in Pasadena! We're featuring Our Yard by Sarah Campbell.

~Our Yard~

Each participant will receive fabric in the cloud colorway, a few prints from the line, plus a coordinating Cotton Couture solid. Entrants can use either colorway. Like previous fabric challenges, we have many more members than available fabric. We wish everyone could get one, but the bundles are first come, first serve for MQG members. That said, everyone who signs up for the challenge should submit their final quilt to the Fabric Challenge category at QuiltCon - like other categories, this category is eligible for judging and awards up to $1,000.
*Quilts can be any size that you'd like!
