🎉 QuiltCon 2026 Community Outreach Challenge 🎉
This year’s theme is Medallion Quilts, and we can’t wait to see what you dream up. Big, bold, intricate, or modern—it’s your chance to let your creativity shine!
✨ Quick Rules set by QuiltCon:
Use all the colors from one of the two palettes—no neutrals or extras.
Solids, prints, or both are fine!
Quilt must be 60” x 80” (min) to 65” x 85” (max).
Medallion design should be the star of your quilt.
Work as a team with your MQG guild or a group of individual MQG members.
Let’s make something amazing together for QuiltCon 2026! 💜
