Babyberry Quilters 43rd Quilt Show “Garden Party” on July 29-31, 2026
2026 Challenge Quilts
A feature of each year’s show is a challenge category for members to create a quilt that best meets the “challenge” guidelines. The 2026 challenge is to create a wall hanging featuring one of the flowers associated with the maker’s birth month as listed in the Old Farmer’s Almanac:
January: Carnation and Snowdrop
February: Violet and Primrose
March: Daffodil and Jonquil
April: Daisy and Sweet Pea
May: Lily of the Valley and Hawthorn
June: Rose and Honeysuckle
July: Larkspur and Water Lily
August: Gladiolus and Poppy
September: Aster and Morning Glory
October: Marigold and Cosmos
November: Chrysanthemum
December: Narcissus and Holly
Flowers may be a single blossom or several in a bouquet. There may be something else in the piece, such as a vase or tree branch, etc., but the focus should be on the flower(s). Perimeter measurement of quilt should be no more than 100 inches.
