SewCalGal’s 2014 Red and White Challenge!

Have you always wanted to make a red & white quilt?

Do you HAVE ONE that you have made before 2014?

SewCalGal is hosting a Year of Red/White Quilt Challenges.  Starting THIS week (2/3 - 2/9)

One of the events is a virtual quilt show of red/white quilts made prior to 2014.  The main page for this event  provides general info at: http://sewcalgal.blogspot.com/p/redwhilte-quilt-challenge.html

Starting today, there is a LINKY for you to add in YOUR quilt!

From SewCalGal:

If you are a designer, this is also a great way to promote any pattern you have created and made a red/white quilt with.   For those that enter a red/white quilt that they made using a purchased (or free pattern) I do hope that they take the opportunity to increase awareness of that pattern.

And, if you designed your own red/white quilt but are not selling the design, you are also welcome to share a tutorial to help others make one, if you wish. This show is all about fun, and encouraging others to make red/white quilt projects.

The Year of Red/White Quilt Challenges is a sponsored event, where prizes will be awarded at the end of the year of challenges.  The more events you enter the more prizes you have a chance to win.

I asked if this includes antique quilts, and she said yes – any quilt made prior to 2014 is eligible for entry!  I have an antique Red & White Pineapple quilt at home that I am going to go photograph and add to the linky myself.

What I don’t know ((And need to find out)) is if this is for red/white solids only --- or do red/neutral quilts count if they are prints?  I’ve got an email in and will let you know.

I’ve been wanting to make a Red & White quilt – and since I am finishing up my Split-9Patch Leader & Ender Challenge top – I might choose to do something Red  & White as a Leader & Ender….if it has to be two fabrics only, I think I’ll have to shoot myself before I'd make it a primary project, but as a Leader & Ender, I think I can get it done!

Red and white graphic design, heavily quilted. Attributed to the Johnson family of Cowan, Tennessee, early 20th century; approx. size 72" x 72".

I’ve been pinning Red & White Quilts to my pinterest board!  You can visit my Red & White Quilt board HERE.  Take a peek for inspiration!

Let those ideas for Red & White Quilt-Inspiration start to percolate!
