The Quilt Challenge

One of the designated fat quarters that can be purchased
at the listed locations

This year will be the first annual Quilt Challenge to raise money for the Textile Department at the Henry County Fair. The rules are simple: Everyone has to use one of the 55 "fat quarters" cut from a selected bolt of fabric. This can be used to create a quilted or non-quilted item using any fabric of your choice that compliments the "fat quarter." But make sure a portion of designated fat quarter is embedded in the project.

Fat quarters can be purchased for $5 and can be found at the Quilt Box in Kewanee, The Village Smithy in Bishop Hill, Quilts in Bloom in Geneseo or by contacting Eva Dynes at 309-853-1321. The fat quarters will be available while they last. If item made is entered at the Henry County Fair all entry fees will apply. The project can be entered in the Department M1 (Textiles) in Class 1620 (Quilt Challenge Class). Premiums awarded for this class will be 1st $35.00, 2nd $15.00, 3rd $5.00.
