The evening started out with the walls filled with splashes of color. Each Quilt had its own personality and depth. The guidelines were as follows:
Piecemakers Quilt Guild of Brandon - Pink Ribbon Challenge 2008
“A Harvest of Hope”
Quilt Size: Length 30-40 inch/ Width 30-40 inch. Entries must be assembled as a traditional quilt sandwich, including a top, batting and back. It be quilted and bound.
Criteria #1: Two “pink” fabrics will be provided to each participant. Entries must use both fabrics provided ON THE FRONT of the quilt.
Criteria #2: Each entry must include a “pink ribbon.” The ribbon may be pieced, appliqued, phototransferred, stenciled, embroidered or any other technique you choose. It may be part of a focus fabric or it may be an actual pink ribbon. However you choose to include the ribbon, it should appear as a primary element of the overall design, no merely an afterthought. The overall design of the quilt should reflect the emotion that pink ribbons have come to symbolize for women.
