This challenge will add a category to
our 2014 exhibition and caters for members who would like to complete a
miniature quilt. It should be a visually stunning additional display to the
2014 Exhibition and we encourage all members to submit at least one entry. The
category for this display will be ‘Small Wonders’ and will be eligible for a viewer’s choice
award.

only red and white fabrics that are self patterned, a combination of the two
colours or solid. Reds can range from light to dark and whites can include
creamy whites, grey whites or self patterned whites. All quilting threads
should be red or white. Small amounts of black, gold or silver are also
permitted. You may use up to 95% of red or white together with its contrast.
Fabrics
and textiles other than cottons may be used provided they are red or white and
may include small amounts of black, silver and gold threads or fabric.
