EZ Dresden Challenge: Ready. Set. Link.

September 1, 2012 in Uncategorized

Welcome back! I hope you’ve had a fabulous summer. If you’re here, you know what time it is–it’s time to kick off the week for adding your EZ Dresden Quilt Challenge project. You’ll recall we have three categories for you to enter:

Small/Mini-quilts: Maximum side length of 24 inches.

Traditional Design: 50minimum on one side.

Innovative Design: 50minimum on one side.

To keep things simple, you can click the links above or at the end of this post to enter your quilt in the correct category.

I’ve seen lots of Dresden activity in blogland, Instagram, and Pintrest. Our own Colleen of the Busy Bean even went to Spring Quilt Market and filmed a segment with Darlene Zimmerman for Quilter’s Newsletter TV. How awesome is that?? Our guild members have even been busy stitching away on their challenge projects. Some have been a little busier than others (ahem). Quilts have been appearing at guild Show and Tell throughout the summer. There are some real knockouts! We can’t wait to see what you have been working on.

As a reminder. You’ll have all week (Sept 1-6) to link your blog post or a picture from your Flickr account if you don’t blog.

The judges will do their thing from September 10-14. Then we’ll announce the winners on September 17 (if all goes as planned).

Finally–let’s give another big thank you to our outstanding sponsors.

OK–Ready. Set. Link.

 

Dresden Variety

In just the first few days of our blog hop we’ve already seen how versatile the EZ Dresden ruler is! Click on any picture below to be taken to the original post.
Lifesavers mini quilt
Lee showed us how to use the traditional shape and give it a whole new look by fussy-cutting your wedges.
From The Blue Chair
Kati‘s take was to use it to make tumblers for a baby quilt.
Victoria
Victoria (one of our judges) showed some beautiful examples.

And I think Tanya‘s idea is genius: use the ruler to help you with foundation paper piecing.

Are you feeling inspired yet?
