NOVA Modern Quilt Guild / Discuss

Robert Kaufman has generously sponsored the Modern Quilt Guild with Kona Solid Charm packs for every member in participating chapters! Thank you Robert Kaufman!

The NOVA Modern Quilt Guild has accepted the challenge to use these charm packs to create Preemie Quilts for the INOVA Fairfax Children's Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU): www.inova.org/healthcare-services/pediatrics/types-of-ser...

We selected the RK Kona Brights pack as a group: www.robertkaufman.com/pre-cut/konareg_cotton_solids_brigh...


RULES:

-The deadline to confirm you are participating and arrange a pickup or shipment of your charm pack is March 1st. After March first your charm pack will be re-distributed to other members in the guild.

-You can add patterned or solid fabric to make your quilt but keep in mind that RK is sponsoring this challenge and that we are helping them showcase how awesome Kona Solid charms are. The charms should be the star of the show!

-If you are planning on using red fabric (or any other color that tends to bleed dye) with your charm pack please pre-wash! Prior to taking the quilts to the INOVA Fairfax Children's Hospital NICU I will be washing all of the quilts together in baby safe detergent and I would like to avoid any chance of dye bleeding. *The charms do not need to be pre-washed.*

-The quilts must be no smaller than 29" on any side and no larger than 45" on any side. Otherwise there are no size restrictions and they can be square or rectangular

-They must be made from 100% cotton which includes the thread, top, batting, backing, and binding. Synthetic adhesives may not be used but adhesives that will wash away can.

-Embroidery is optional but it must be soft. The babies have very sensitive skin so tight machine embroidery will not be suitable for this project. Embellishments that could be pulled off and swallowed are also not suitable for this project. Think baby friendly!

-Use our flickr page to upload photos of your works in progress and finished quilts. We would all love to know how the design process is going, answer any questions you might have, or tell you how much we love your creation!

-All quilts must be turned in by April 30th. We'll have a party to show-and-tell our creations at Natalie's house.

*If you have any other questions ask them here!


Happy Quilting!
