"Totally Outrageous Texas Wildflowers" 

1.	Blocks will NOT be made in a quilt and will be returned to the creators.  This challenge is for Crossroads to Texas Guild members only.  There is NOT a specific challenge fabric - use your imagination!
2.	Block size: 15 inches square finished.  Blocks are to be quilted and have finished edges (you do not have to bind the block; it may be sewn shut with a plain stitch or fancy, may be bound if you choose or any other method of closing the edges).  The blocks will be hung by pinning them to a drape which is why the edges need to be finished.
3.	Judging:  Original designs, dimensional flowers, embellishments, hand-dyed fabric, painted designs, etc. are all part of the challenge.  Artistic creativity and originality as well as workmanship, use of color, and appropriateness of the design to the theme will be the criteria for judging.
4.	There will only be one category, not separate ones for pieced, appliqued or combined techniques.  First, second, and third place ribbons will be awarded.
5.	The blocks are due by September 8, 2008, to allow time for planning the display.  The blocks may be turned in at Quilt Guild meetings in August or arrangements may be made to have them delivered at another time/place than the September 8 deadline.
6.	There is no charge to enter the block challenge and no written evaluation will be given by the judges.  This is suppose to be a fun challenge, so don't stress!  Let your creativity run wild!
