2020 Challenge Quilts - Virtual Exhibition

<< Back to Gallery

Due to a nasty virus, it's not been possible, so far, to exhibit the 88 quilts entered into the MQ 2020 Challenge. The MQ Committee displayed a slideshow at the Pyjama Party event held on Saturday, 17th April as part of the AGM & Virtual Conference 2021 programme.

For those who wish to see the quilts again and those who weren't able to get to the conference, you can view the quilts on our Facebook page and in the gallery below.

2022 Challenge Brief

Sliced squares, diced squares, any size you like squares,

As long as there are twenty of them on a 20" square

Let your imagination take flight, produce a delight!

Encouragement is what we do,

So come on friends and make a few (or more)

Then admire and have some fun,

Deciding which entry's the winning one.
