2019 Hoffman Challenge Fabric Hoffman Challenge Quilt Fabric

The Hoffman Challenge that is.

The 31st Hoffman Challenge is right around the corner and brings with it a change to the rules. This is the longest running quilting/sewing contest sponsored by a fabric manufacturer.

We love these challenges as they help us to stretch our creativity and skills. Not only that it is fun to see how other quilters brains work as they create with the same foundation.

This year comes with a change to the rules. You have to use all six of the Challenge fabrics in your project. 

(We've put them together in a fat quarter bundle for you. Reserve yours today)

Here they are:

Hoffman Challenge Fabric, Sunny Hoffman Challenge Fabric, VIntage 2019 Hoffman Challenge Fabric, Antique
