SMQ Guild Challenge Quilts
Tuesday evening was the deadline for the monochromatic color challenge quilts of which "Lavender Haze" was one.
The array of 30 quilts submitted for this challenge to create a monochromatic quilt based on a spool of thread blindly pulled from a bag was amazing. Leah Marcum-Estes, the Director of the Oak Ridge Art Center, had the difficult job of selecting only 8 quilts to be our guild's entry in the AQS Guild Challenge category of the show that will be in Grand Rapids next August. I very much liked that Leah gave a mini critique concentrating on the strengths of each individual quilt before announcing her final selection. She explained the various ways of curating and that her selection for this guild entry was based on a flow of hues as they relate to the color wheel spectrum.
The eight that were selected follows. Sorry I don't have dimensions for each of them.
Pat Davis - blue green
Diane Rhea - Green
Jan Darnell - yellow
Tone Haugen-Cogburn - coral
(red orange)
Elizabeth Freeman - red
Nancy Kessler - purple
Pat Blankenship - Blue
"Lavender Haze" (36"x36")
Nellie Durand - Red Violet
Two more were selected as alternates ... just in case something comes up and one of the above eight can't make it to the show.
Christine Glazer - orange Patty Ashworth - greenI couldn't resist playing with the line-up ...
I wonder how these will end up being displayed.

Thanks to Patty for letting me use her photos. They were photo shopped in my Elements program.

The line-up of quilts is amazing - there are some wonderful ones in there, and all so different. The judge must have found it a difficult task to make her selection.
This was an interesting challenge. I am glad you showed us the others quilts.
It will be a challenge to display them. Lavender haze would have fit in nicely.
