- Every submitter is to rank their
entries in order of preference for hanging. Challenge quilts will all be hung so do
not need a preference, just choose challenge if using the paper form. You
may enter up to 3 non challenge quilts.
If exhibition space is limited the lower ranked items may not be
hung (last resort only).
- President’s Challenge - A Capital Day - Make a fabric item that
reflects the theme ‘A Capital Day’.
The item can be 3D but must be able to be hung for display. It can
be made by more than one person. All makers must be named on the entry
form. You can create an original design or use a pattern designed by
someone else. If the design is not original, you must acknowledge the
designer on the entry form. Quilting can be done by hand or machine.
- Churn It Up Challenge - You must make a quilt (ie three
layers secured by stitching) which features a pieced Churn Dash block. The
quilt can be 3D but must be able to be hung for display. It can be made by
more than one person. All makers must be named on the entry form. You can
create an original design or use a pattern designed by someone else. If
the design is not original, you must acknowledge the designer on the entry

design. It can be an original design, from a pattern or kitset or Block of
the Month or inspired by a photo or quilt. It is important that you
correctly answer this question.
- Quilt story. You will be asked to supply a brief explanation
(maximum of 75 words) of your inspiration for the quilt and any other
interesting details e.g. who it was made for. We suggest you have this in
a document ready to paste into your online entry.
