Hey there, makers!

How’s spring treating you so far? The weather is getting warmer, the flowers have starting to bloom, and it’s time to start sewing with all the bright fabrics from your stash! If you’re looking to make a new Quilt this season and would like to win some fabrics, we have a new challenge for you!

Get ready to join the “Bring the Joy with Here Comes the Fun” Modern Quilt Challenge! Some time ago, we introduced this challenge around the time of Quiltcon since we were inspired by all the quilts that were on display at the show. We chose Here Comes the Fun by Sew Caroline because it is all about happy lyrics and the beautiful art that fills many cities combined with fun designs, so we thought it would be great for making bright modern quilts. Plus, the colors of this collection are great for spring!

If you’re excited to make a new quilt and win some fabrics, check out how you can be part of this challenge. 😉

If you would like to participate in this challenge, you will need to make a 40” x 60” modern quilt (or larger) that is made mostly with Here Comes the Fun Fabrics by Sew Caroline. You may mix and match blenders/ solids into your quilt as long as they are from AGF (the whole quilt must be made with AGF to be considered).

And yes, you are allowed to use a pre-made quilt pattern. When coming up with your design, think color blocking, negative space, geometric designs, etc. If you are stuck we have prepared a Pinterest board for you to get some inspiration. You have full creative freedom and “modern” is open to interpretation, so let your creativity guide you!

Submissions:

You can submit a hi-res image of your quilt to [email protected] with your name, the name of your quilt, and a description of your design. The images will be shared on a Pinterest board titled, “Here Comes the Fun Quilt Challenge” and people will be able to vote for their favorite quilts by pinning them. Submissions will be opened until May 31st.

Voting:

Voting on Pinterest will be open from June 1st to June 12th. The quilts with the most votes/pins will be the winners. We will announce three winners (1st, 2nd, and 3rd) on the blog and we will contact them personally by email.

Make sure to take bright, sharp, pretty pictures of your projects so that they can be showed off in the best way possible!
