The Cherrywood Challenge
The POPPY Challenge is currently traveling through 2025. No requests can be taken
The ABYSS Challenge started October 1, 2024 and is DUE May 2025
Every year, Cherrywood chooses a theme and color palette and presents a challenge to quilters from all over the world. The challenge is to see what you can create using a very limited number of colors, and show of the beautiful suede look of our hand-dyed fabric.
- Quilt must be 20-inches square
- Quilts must use the designated bundle of fabric from Cherrywood
- Quilts must take inspiration from the theme
- Quilts can use any technique or embellishment, as long as the main focus is on the theme colors.
- A panel of jurors selects a designated number of quilts from digital submissions for the Traveling Exhibit
- Prizes are awarded
- Traveling exhibit is displayed at quilt shows and galleries nationally (and sometime internationally!)
- After the tour is finished, the quilts are returned to the artists
The Cherrywood Challenge is announced in October every year. Quilts are due for submission the following spring/summer (dates vary).
Requests to exhibit the trunk shows are taken HERE.
