It’s Fun, it’s fast, and sometimes a tad wicked…. it’s Death By Quilting (DBQ) and it’s on the internet now! I decided we ‘obsessed’ quilters need a fun place to play quilt games. Like Swaps, One on One trades and I developed my own ultimate EXTREME game of ‘Death By Quilting’. Kind of like ‘Death by Chocolate’ only better!

The games are played at my DBQ website and forum. The site has the games outlined, start dates and even a blog were I post game results, winners and general game info.

So what IS an extreme quilt game and how does it work? The short version is that it’s a game where everyone starts the same day and the ultimate goal is to ‘knock out’ your opponents. Each person makes a project. When you finished your project you mail it to your ‘Target’. When you target RECEIVES the project in the mail, your target is then ‘dead’ or ‘knocked out of the game’.

IF your target has not already mailed THEIR project, than it is sent to the person who ‘knocked them out of the game’ to finish it. This is the EXTREME part and it’s SUPER fun!

Because of the mailing time we are grouping games by Country so there is no delay of a package coming or going to another country.

Right now we have the “Cabana Boy” EXTREME Quilt Challenge in progress. So you can come and watch it to see how it works! This is a US based game.

I am collecting names for quilters who want to play in other countries. It would be awesome to have games going on all over the world! If you want to get your name on the list for a game in YOUR country… go to this site and enter your name in your country contact list. If your country is not there email me.
