QuiltCon 2027 American Patchwork + Quilting Pick-A-Color Scrappy Challenge

We all have scraps, that's for sure, but this year, American Patchwork & Quilting challenges you to find a way to create a single-hued scrappy quilt!

Eligible quilts will use at least 10 different fabrics and feature one overarching hue in the design. What color will you pick?

Get inspired by some of the example quilts below - we can't wait to see your fresh ideas using scraps from one part of the color wheel!
