Porterville Quilt Challenges

Mystery Quilt

The Mystery Quilt is a fun challenge. Each month members receive instructions regarding a quilt that has been secretly selected. Each member chooses fabrics that meet the criteria of the quilt instruction. The Mystery Quilt that each member finishes (sometimes just the top and not quilted) is shown at the November meeting. It is always interesting to see the variety of fabrics for the same pattern.

UFO Challenge

Members may elect to contract to complete UFOs, (Unfinished Fabric Objects), at the beginning of the year. UFOs are shown at general meetings during Show and Tell. Members who complete their contracts receive a prize at the end of the year to presented at the December general meeting.Download the UFO Form here
