Mini Quilt Challenge Exhibit - Blues

Explore the Complete Blue Mini Quilt Challenge Virtual Exhibit HERE!
Sky blue, navy, indigo, turquoise, lapis, cornflower, and so many more, show us your favorite shade of blue in this fun mini quilt challenge. At least 50% of the quilt should be a shade of blue. A traditional block in blue, an ocean or lake scene in a small art quilt, or a mini modern quilt all in blue, we want to see your blue mini quilts!
Thanks to the absolutely wonderful response to our Blue Mini Quilt Challenge we will be displaying these quilts in two rounds. In the past, the most mini quilts we have received for a challenge has been around 40, so having received your 76 lovely quilts presents a space dilemma for us. We do not have the ability to display all the quilts at one time in the museum. In order to be sure that each quilt has a chance to shine, we will display the mini quilts in two groups.
The first group of quilts will be on display from July 28 through August 26, and will include quilts from makers whose last names begin with A through K. The second group of quilts will be on display from August 27 through September 26, and will include quilts from makers whose last names begin with L through Z. Download the list of quilts and makers below.
Can't make it to both installations? Our virtual exhibition brings all 76 mini quilts together in one place. Click HERE to explore the full collection and discover each artist's unique interpretation of the theme.
This exhibition is sponsored by the Tidewater Quilters Guild.
