Follow the Yellow Brick Road

2025 Quilt Challenge: Follow the Yellow Brick Road

The phrase "yellow brick road" represents a journey towards an ultimate goal or destination. It can be seen as a metaphor for life's journey, where we encounter obstacles and challenges alongg the way but ultimately strive towards achieving our dreams and aspirations.

Guidelines:

1. 12" wide 18" tall

2. 3 layers -- pieced top, batting, back -- quilted by yourself. You must totally complete the quilt on your own. (Exceptions: Quilters 12 and under may have help with quilting and finishing.)

3. Finish using "envelope turn" or "facing" method -- no binding. There will be demo classes for these techniques.

4. Road must enter and exit in the lower 6" of the quilt. Quilts will be hung so that the yellow road is continuous from quilt to quilt. Use the yellow fabric supplied for the road.

5. Road can be pieced or applique', any shape and can go anywhere -- by the sea, through a garden, into space, or just through the quilt. It can be any shape -- curved, flying geese, rectangles, circular, whatever. It can be the yellow streak in a bargello pattern. Okay to add embellishments.

6. Sign up by July 1st, 2025 at HSQG clubhouse. You will receive a 4.5" by 20" piece of Toscana "Yellow brick road" fabric when you sign up.
