2011 AQS Guild Challenge Announced
A DECADE OF THE PAST: THE 1920s is the theme of our 2011 Challenge Quilt competition. The Roaring Twenties was filled with so many memorable images; Speakeasies, the 'Cotton Club', the beginning of the depression, flappers, inventions, fashion, movies, art deco, innovative architecture, skyscrapers, gangsters, and of course devoted quilters that got block patterns in the newspaper and magazines. Let your imagination 'roar' and be a participant in this challenge. Anything goes! Download the rules for this challenge. See the rules here.
