Tucson Quilters Guild members have been challenged to make make a 3-layer quilt with alternative fabrics, such as silk, burlap, leather, tulle, faux fur, plastic bags, denim, or even metal!
Pictured at left is “Tourist Season” by Karen Fisher, (inspired by the Carl Hiaasen novel of the same name). The alternate materials include sparkly fabric, plastic foliage, little lumpy white things, passport stickers, shoes, tennis rackets and other debris, along with a toy alligator!
Rules
- You must be an active member of the Tucson Quilters Guild.
- The quilt should measure no more than 100 inches around the perimeter. Any shape of that dimension is acceptable.
- This quilt does not count toward your three judged or non-judged Quilt Fiesta entries.
- The quilt must have a hanging sleeve. Instructions are located here.
- Label the quilt with the quiltmaker’s name and the title of the quilt. If needed, print this document and hand-sew the paper Quilt ID tag to the back of the quilt.
- Deliver the quilt in a pillowcase-like bag, with a label at the opening. Print this document for the Quilt ID/Pillowcase Tags and instructions.
