Congratulations Corrine!
Announcing the Kona Color of the Year and a Challenge!
The challenge will begin January 1, 2020 and end on February 10, 2020 with quilts hung and winners announced on February 14, 2020.
Purchase the Golden State Quilting Color of the Year Fat Quarter Challenge Bundle and use at least three of the five fabrics, including the 2020 Color of the Year, "Enchanted" to make and submit a finished Quilt measuring at least 20" square but no more than 36" square.
First Prize winner will receive a $100 gift GSQ gift certificate; second prize, $50 certificate; third prize, $25 certificate.
Still have a few gifts left to give? (Or just need one for your very own self?)
Our classroom is filled with wonderful quilt samples of every shape and size, just waiting for a good home. Whenever a quilt gets adopted we hang a new one, so you will see a new group each time you visit.
