The deadline is fast approaching if you want to participate in the National Quilt Museum contest, New Quilts from an Old Favorite. 

Each year this international contest challenges quiltmakers to create an innovative quilt based on a specific traditional pattern. The 2014 theme is Carolina Lily. Winners of the contest traditionally include quilts from many different U.S. states and several other countries.

Quilts are selected for their excellence in design and techniques, their innovations, and their contributions to an exhibit showing the wide range of designs and styles the selected traditional pattern can inspire.

In cooperation with the American Quilter's Society, a catalog is published, featuring the award-winning and finalist quilts in full color, with a photo of the maker, information about the quilt's development and patterns and tips.

Past winners have included TQS members, let's see if we can do it again!  The entry deadline is November 1, 2013.
