The British "Explosion of Colour" Challenge Rules

The prize for winning the "Explosion of Colour" Challenge is fifty fat quarters of Makower fabric and a year's subscription to a delightful British quilting magazine. It might be rather costly to win this prize .... :-) But then perhaps you'll get a pretty ribbon to hang on your wall.

The cost of entering the challenge is going to be an entry fee of about $16.00 (depending on exchange rate the day your Visa card is charged) plus your Airmail shipping cost to send a small quilt overseas. Plus, if you go nuts over the idea, you could enter the Challenge eight times!!!

Got the entry forms in the mail and you could enter this contest with eight different small quilts at different locations on four dates in 2007 and four more dates in 2008. There are two final "shows" where the grand prize of 50 FQs are awarded. This is apparently a sort of elimination type of challenge. If your quilt does not win at the show you send it to it is sent home immediately. (That's what the entry fee is used for, return postage.)

I called and spoke to a woman this morning and I think I have the facts straight. I have already heard from two BBers who want me to mail them entry forms .... send me an email at jacknox at earthlink dot net if you want me to send an entry form to you.
