MLQ Summer Sewing Challenge 2026
The theme is Road Trip
“Because the greatest part of a road trip isn’t arriving at your destination. It’s all the wild stuff that happens along the way.” – Emma Chase
“According to the map, we’ve only gone four inches.” – Peter Farrelly, Bobby Farrelly, and Bennet Yelling
This quilt should highlight some aspect of a Road Trip. The quilt can be pieced, appliqued, or a combination of techniques but must not have any embellishments. Please make a quilt with a top, batting, and a back that is quilted and not tied.
Size should be from 36” to 60” on each side. These quilts should be appropriate for tummy-time, crib, or
lap-size youth (kids up to teens). Please bring the finished quilt to the September meeting. Go, Sew, and Have Fun this Summer helping MLQ donate blankets to the community.
***All will be donated to comfort blankets.

Seeing Red
Maple Leaf Quilters 2018 Festival of Quilts Challenge (Was held April 2018)
“I always liked red. It's a picker-upper.” Nancy Reagan
“Red is such an interesting color to correlate with emotion, because it's on both ends of the spectrum. On one end you have happiness, falling in love,
infatuation with someone, passion, all that. On the other end, you've got obsession, jealousy, danger, fear, anger, and frustration.” Taylor Swift
Red Quilt, Your Design
Make a quilt (front, back, and batting) using mostly red fabrics. Should measure 5 inches by 36 inches and will hang with the length down (sleeve will be
5 inches). Quilt should be noticeably red with at least 50% made with red fabrics.
Enjoy. ** Remember the size is 5 inches by 36 inches
