The rules are as follows:

1. The size of the completed piece must be no smaller then 10" x 10" nor larger than 36" x 36". For example: your piece could be 10" x 36".

2. At least one recognizable heart must be on the quilt top. The heart can be appliqued, pieced, painted, beaded, colored, etc.

3. All fabrics and supplies used must be from your stash (or the stash of someone else). You can share and trade (Quilter's Honor Code).

4. The quilt batting and backing must also be from your stash. Piece the backing if necessary. Be creative!

5. The quilt must be hand or machine quilted.

6. Attach a label on the back of the quilt with any appropriate information, but be sure you include the name of the quilt, your name, and the date completed.

7. The deadline for submission will be May 6. This is the date of our monthly group meeting. Quilts may be delivered before the date in a large brown paper bag to Anne Ryan-Rudd or Linda Walrath. Please put your name on the outside of the bag.

8. Three awards will be given in the following categories: a) the member's choice picked by votes at the May meeting. b) the best interpretation of the theme as judged at the Quilt Show. c) the viewers choice, selected from only the challenge entries at the show.
