Each year this international contest organized by The National Quilt Museum challenges quiltmakers to create an innovative quilt based on a specific traditional pattern. Winners of the contest traditionally include quilts from many different U.S. states and several other countries.
Quilts are selected for their excellence in design and techniques, their innovation, and their contributions to an exhibit showing the wide range of designs and styles the selected traditional pattern can inspire.

This is sounds like a nice event howevet, I wish it was announced earlier in the year. Perhaps seasoned quilters know about it, but newbies may not know of this challenge.
