Each year a committee is formed to create a challenge for the guild members.  Specific rules and guidelines are given (sometimes accompanied by a specific fabric).  Each member is then "challenged" to create a quilted piece which conforms to these guidelines.  Projects such as these can help push you into areas of quilting you might not otherwise go.

Each member keeps their project secret until the April meeting.  On that night, after the business meeting, members view the entries and vote on their favorites.  It is always an enjoyable program.  We also celebrate the guild's birthday at that meeting.

Participation in the challenge is optional.
