We are now accepting entries for our 2026 Guild Challenge – Jumping for Joy! The entry form will be open until October 31 so you have time to finish (or even start!) your quilt.
Everyone entering will earn a Quiltchievement badge plus a chance for prizes from our sponsors. Ready to enter? Snap 2 photos – one of the whole quilt and one with a detailed shot of the quilting – and enter your quilt today!
Still working on your design?
Consider movement in nature, your family, yourself and use that to inspire your quilt design or color palette. Here are a few examples of how the prompt movement can be a quilt inspiration:
- Watching the ocean waves move in and out
- The delight of a small child filled with endless energy
- A song that gets you up and dancing every single time
- Quiet time at your sewing machine as your hands move fabric under the needle
- Your daily walk or run
- The movement of your hands as you stretch and fold sourdough
Also, consider movement as a design outcome using the placement of colors, blocks, and the quilting to invite the viewer to move their eyes across the quilt.
Please know that every person will design a quilt that uses the prompt in a different way. This is why challenges are so very fun and exciting.
All the details and specific guidelines are available here.
We greatly appreciate the support from our sponsors: Cary Quilting Company, Oliso, Snuggly Monkey, and Freeman’s Creative.
