You have Quilt Quest 2024 questions? Here are the answers!
Q: How does it work?
It's simple! At the beginning of each month, I'll unveil the theme, and you'll have the entire month to get creative and craft your masterpiece. Themes will range from specific colorways, quilting methods, unique designs, non-quilt projects, to specific fabrics and beyond.
Join in on months you feel inspired and sit out on month you don't. You're free to let your imagination run wild. Want to design your own pattern? Go for it! Prefer to use an existing pattern? That works too! The choice is yours.
Q: Who is it for? Everyone! Whether you're a seasoned quilter or just dipping your toes into the fabric-filled waters, Quilt Quest 2024 is for you. No project is "too small" (or too big, for that matter).
Q: Can I make anything I want for the monthly challenge?
Anything that falls within the theme of the challenge counts. And, frankly, I'm here to have fun, not to be the quilt police. So if the challenge is black and white quilts and you decide to add a pop of color but then submit your finished project... that's fine with me! I want the theme to inspire you to make something you love, not to restrict you to a checklist.
Q: Do I have to use a specific pattern (or one of your patterns)?
Absolutely not. Make anything you want!
Q: Do I have to have an Instagram account?
No. You do need EITHER an Instagram account or FB account and to have posted at least 1 photo of your finished project using #quiltquest2024. This isn't so I can check your work. There are no quilt police here. This is so we can achieve one of the key goals of this project--to inspire one another and build community!
Q: Are there prizes?
Kind of. I think there's something better -- one-of-a-kind, collectible stickers! (And, let's be honest, probably some actual prizes along the way from community members that want to contribute.)
Q: How do I get my sticker?
Once you've completed your creation, head on over to the submission form and let me know that you've finished. Just provide your name and address. You can submit the form any time you want within the month and for up to seven days after month-end. At the beginning of the month AFTER the challenge, I'll send you your sticker (so I can order and mail them all at the same time).
Q: Do I get anything for completing every single month?
Nope! Because this challenge is for yourself and your own creative growth. I don't want anyone feeling like they "fell behind" or need to give up on future months because they didn't "finish" one of the months.
