Are you an avid quilter and looking for a new fresh challenge? Are you a new quilter in search of a small fun project? Regardless of your quilt cred, you are encouraged to give our 2022 Garden of Quilts Block Challenge a go!
Participation is easy. Register below. Within a few days we will ship out a pack of six Riley Blake Designs fat quarters for you to utilize as a springboard in your design. From there you can embellish with other fabrics, applique, embroidery, beadwork, etcetera, all to create a 20’” x 20” quilt block playing off the theme, “What do you meme?” Once your block is complete, email us your pictures. We will then send you a release form and further information on submitting your quilts to us. So step out of your comfort zone, and unleash your creativity by any “memes” necessary.
