The Virtual Competition 2020 is a new initiative launched by the organisers of The Festival of Quilts. 
‘Given that our normal quilt competition can’t go ahead this year, we didn’t want you to miss out so we’re offering you the chance to enter the competitions in an online format.’

‘Just like our standard FoQ competitions, there are 12 categories to choose from.’

The online entry form is due to be release this week.

More information is available on the FoQ website https://www.thefestivalofquilts.co.uk/virtual-quilt-competition/

Pat has kindly been working away at this lovely Sampler Quilt by Kim Diehl.

The finished size is 28 1/2″ x 28 1/2″. This is a more compact size than the Edyta Sitar Mystery Quilt which will be approx 72″ x 72″, so ideal for anyone wanting to tackle a smaller project.

The instructions will be released in 4 parts over the next 4 months, the first is available now. Select Block of the Month/Kim Diehl to get started. Have fun!
