Talk:Alliance for American Quilts crazy quilt collaborative exhibition space

From QuiltIndex

This is a discussion forum for the Alliance's 2009 quilt contest - 'Crazy for Quilts, a challenge for quilters of all ages that honors the spirit of the crazy quilt. Post your comments here about ideas, inspirations, historical context, contemporary crazy quilts, techiques and related.

Entrants are encouraged to visit,our website, to draw inspiration from one or more aspect of the crazy quilt: design, color, fabric, surface embellishment, history or some other aspect of this style that you want to celebrate. There's room in this contest for all kinds of crazy-from traditional approaches to artistic interpretation. The only constraint for this contest is that the finished quilt be 16" x 16" in size (2009 is our 16th birthday). All entries will be auctioned on eBay to benefit the AAQ- one of our most successful annual fundraisers.

This year we’ll have two categories to encourage younger quilters to participate: 30 and Under and Over 30. 1st, 2nd and 3rd prize will be awarded in each category as well as honorable mention awards. AAQ members will vote to award prizes.

Look for more information on the AAQ's website on January 1, 2009.
