What is the DQN Challenge and how does it work?

The entries can fall into any of 8 categories:  
         100% pieced
         100% applique
         Mixed- combination of pieced, applique and/or embroidery
         Circle Group - any entry submitted by a DQN Circle and designated as such
         Group - any entry worked on by 2 or more DQN members done separate from a specific DQN Circle 
         Off the Wall - any entry that is not a traditional bed or wall quilt, i.e., clothing, table runner, home dec, bag, doll, etc.
         Small- any small quilt between 12" to 24" or 20" square; includes miniatures. 

          First entry - first time entry in the Challenge by a current member
​

The items are displayed at the August Quarterly Meeting where members vote on their favorite in each category.  Ribbons are awarded to the First and Second Place winners (if there are less than 5 entries in a single category, there is only a First Place winner).  And a gift certificate valid at several local and online quilt shops is awarded to the First Place winners.

​It's a mini quilt show with amazing interpretations of a single theme!  You owe it to yourself to get a packet and stretch your creative talents while having fun!
Have an idea for the 2026 Challenge?  Click here for the application form and bring it to the July 12th Board meeting.
