    Gold and White Quilt Challenge Notes

    All Gold and White Challenge quilts will follow these guidelines:

    • Quilts will not be judged unless they are entered into the Joy of Quilts 2027 Exhibition.
    • Quilts must be prepared for hanging at a show (a hanging sleeve is required).
    • Each quilt will be officially recorded with the quilter’s name, quilt title, size, and a photograph.
    • A challenge label with the official logo will be provided at the meeting.
    • Quilts will remain with the owner until it is time for exhibition.
    • A basic photo of each quilt will be taken at the meeting for documentation.

    Please bring your quilt to the meeting for documentation and Show & Tell — whether it is finished or still in progress.

    Thank you to everyone who is participating.
    This challenge officially launches our celebration of being the first quilting guild in Texas and in Houston.
