Are you up for the challenge?

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
 2019 Hoffman Challenge Fabric, Denim 2019 Hoffman Challenge Fabric, Chartreuse 2019 Hoffman Challenge Fabric Pewter

 

We've made it easy for you to make sure you get yours as soon as they are released in July by offering them as a pre-order. Don't miss out on the fun, reserve yours today by clicking here.

Here are the basic quilt requirements, all the rules can be found by clicking here.
