2022 Themed Quilt
String-Time In the Smokies
String piecing is a patchwork quilt-making technique that is accomplished by sewing multiple fabrics together to create a “strip set” that looks just like a portion of a quilt block. The strings or strips can be any color combination, from scrappy to graduated color families. The strips don't need to be uniform width and strip set can be cut apart to yield segments that replace two or more pieces of fabric. The quilt must be an interpretation of string quilts and be recognizable as a string quilt.
Prize categories are split into large and small quilts. Quilts will be accepted that meet the theme of the year’s criteria and are clearly recognizable as a string quilt when completed. A large quilt is a quilt with a perimeter of 250 inches or larger. A small quilt is a quilt with a perimeter of 249 inches or less. These categories are exempt from the Quilted by Another restriction.
Top prizes will be awarded for 'Best in Show' (Large and Small), 'Excellence in Hand Workmanship' (Large) and 'Excellence in Machine Workmanship' (Large). Prizes will be available for all categories (Large and Small) and will be awarded for 1st - 5th place.

It makes so much more sense when they work in class to understand the instructions I show them. They also have to cut all the fabrics for the pattern of their choice and organize the fabrics into zip lock bags. And finally they must cut the paper piece templates and store them into the right zip lock bag with the right fabrics. It works so much nicer at home to get organized in your own space and you can spend time when it is convenient to work on the preparations and you don’t have to stress.Jacqueline strongly advises all quilters who want to take the class to buy the Happiness 2.0 pattern which is a 38” x 38” wall hanging which contains all 13 techniques you will use in ALL of Jacqueline’s designs. This will give students confidence and they can find many tutorials on the BeColourful website. Play with some of your old fabric and become familiar with the BeColourful methods.
