VICTORIAN ELEGANCE
MQX 2009 Charity Challenge with Leslie Tallaksen
All 7 fabrics are included in the 2009 Kit!
MQX 2009's Charity Challenge brings you a selection of glorious fabrics from an extraordinary designer. “Laurel Cottage”, by Marianne Elizabeth for Benartex, will send you racing to your sewing studio! Colors in pond blue, buttercup and marigold will remind you of a lazy, late afternoon tea on the porch swing of yesteryear. So, to that end, let’s get right to the rules so you can get started (or at least ordering your kit)!
Rules:
1. This challenge should be designed around a traditional block of your choosing. It may be a pieced or appliqué design. For example: Log Cabin, Robbing Peter to Pay Paul, Whig Rose, Drunkards Path, Baltimore Album style, Crazy Quilt, etc.
2. The maximum size of the challenge quilt should be 40”-45” square with total overall linear inches not to exceed 180”. It does not have to be square.
3. Any amount of additional fabrics may be added, however a recognizable amount of ALL of the challenge fabrics must be used.
4. The quilt may be art, traditional or contemporary.
