It's time to vote!

A couple weeks ago we posted about AccuQuilt's Quilt Block Design Contest. 
The voting is open for this online contest, and there are more than 500 blocks hoping for your vote.


What's the best news? Even if you haven't entered a block (though you still can...entries can be submitted through May 27!), you can still win! You can vote for each block once a day, and there's a prize of the day EACH DAY in May that will be given to one voter...including Fabri-Quilt fabric. So make sure you vote and get a chance to win!

Find more details here.

And here's a sneak peek at some of the entries you can vote for--so much talent, so many new quilt ideas! Who knew voting could be so hard? Have fun!

And if you've entered a block in the contest, let us know--we'd love to see it!

AccuQuilt Block Contest!

Imagine seeing a quilt block you designed as a 17-foot square sign in Nebraska...
Pretty amazing to think about, isn't it?!

And that's just part of the Grand Prize from AccuQuilt's Quilt Block Design Contest...you can see the remainder of the prizes here. (Pretty impressive!)


We're one of the sponsors of this fantastic contest, so we wanted to make sure that all our Fabri-Quilt friends new about it and had the chance to enter! 

If you don't have an AccuQuilt cutter, don't worry--block designs can be submitted without using die-cut shapes. (And if you do have one, lucky you--they sure are fun!)

You can find all of the entry requirements and details here
but we'll give you a brief overview:
  • Block designs must be submitted digitally. (In other words, you don't actually have to sew the block.)
  • If you don't have block design capabilities on your computer, don't worry--you can even use graph paper and colored pencils (download a printable graph design tool from AccuQuilt here).
  • Winning design will be featured in Quiltmaker magazine, as well as winning a Grand Prize worth over $22,000.
  • Entries will be accepted now through May 27, and voting runs May 1-27. Winners will be chosen by popular vote. (So the sooner you enter your block, the more time people will have to vote for it, starting May 1.)

Again, find all the details you need here!
Let us know if you enter...we'd love to see your block! (See blocks that have already been entered here.)
Good luck!
