Our AAQI Challenge Quilts: January 2011 Update
This is the backup record page for the Liberated Quilting Challenge, created in January of 2010. This backup continues in 2011. It is updated on a regular basis to both record and showcase all quilts donated by members of our groups to the Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative on an ongoing basis and to help me track all quilts for numerical database purposes.
The Liberated Quilters of the Liberated Quilting Blog and the members of the Liberated Quilting Message Board joined forces to create a "Liberated Quilting: Liberated Challenge." on January 1, 2010, to all quilters to create Priority: Alzheimer's Quilts for the Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative.
Click here for details. The Challenge is still open to all quilters, in all mediums and is ongoing. Quilts shown are from 2010 and into 2011. Approximately 80 quilts were made and donated in 2010 and I am hoping we can outdo this number in 2011.
Quilts using the liberated quilting techniques (inspired by but not limited, to the works of Gwen Marston in her "Liberated Quiltmaking" book) are encouraged to explore the world of liberated quilting techniques.
This style can include, but is not limited to, the creation of free-pieced items...free-form, free-pieced stars, houses, letters, flowers, butterflies, frogs, people, etc. Liberated piecing and quilting are encouraged, as are themes relating to Alzheimer's and its challenges, but are not required.
There are no rules as to what fabrics, theme, or style of quilting you choose to use. Quilts can be pieced, free-pieced, strip-pieced, fused, appliqued, beaded, paint over fabric, anything that stretches your imagination, your quilting style, and creates an opportunity for you to think and to quilt 'outside of the box.'
