Updated: I have updated this week’s theme to either School Days OR Changing Seasons. We only have a few quilts submitted, let’s see more!

The theme for this week’s quilt contest is School Days. The theme can be represented by the quilt design or in the fabrics chosen for your quilt. Be creative with this theme. You can submit quilts, wall hangings, pillows, etc. using any technique (pieced, appliqué, embroidery) as long as the item you enter is completely finished (i.e. bound and quilted).

I’m thrilled to introduce you to a new sponsor this week, Swirly Girls Design. They’ve put together a fabulous gift box of goodies for this week’s winner.

The Circle Savvy Ruler cuts perfect circles from 3″ – 15 ½” in half-inch increments. Use it for pieced circles and curves, machine or hand applique and more!
