“TIME”

BQE invites the members of its sponsoring guilds to participate in this special challenge. What does the word "time" bring to mind?  Out of time?  Time to go?  Tea time?  Keeping time?  Time is the quilt challenge theme.

There are endless possibilities, so put your imagination to work.  We have no fabric requirements but there are a few rules.

Requirements are:

1. Size is 30” in width, 24” in length, plus or minus 1 inch.
2. It must be a standard quilt, 3 layers, quilted and bound. There should be a 4” sleeve, and have a label on the back.
3. The quilt must include a recognizable instrument for keeping time somewhere on the front, a clock, sundial, hourglass, etc.
4. Only one entry per person.
5. The BQE Challenge is open to any member of the 5 Broward County Guilds: Coral Springs, East Sunrise, Quilting in the Pines, Southern Stars or West Broward.
6. Use the regular BQE entry form for your challenge quilt.  There is no entry fee.  Delivery information will be the same as for all other BQE quilts.

Challenge Quilts will be judged on theme interpretation, construction and overall appearance. Cash prizes will be awarded.  Challenge quilts are eligible for Viewer’s Choice Award.  Honorable Mention ribbons will be awarded.

Permanently attach your name to the back of the quilt and whip stitch a piece of muslin over the label.  Place the quilt in a pillow case bag with your name, address and phone number clearly marked on the bag.  Deliver your entry as instructed on the entry form.
