AccuQuilt's Third Annual Barn Quilt Contest

Hi everyone:


Can you believe that it's been almost a year since AccuQuilt last hosted the Barn Quilt Contest? Well, it has and that means that it's once again time to start working on a new block to enter. 


Here's the scoop:



The contest entry dates are from March 16 until April 9, 2012, with the winner being announced at the AQS Quilt Show & Contest in Paducah, KY (April 25-28). The winning block will be unveiled on June 22, 2012 during the AccuQuilt Let's GO! Quilting Retreats. The winning designs will be proudly displayed on AccuQuilt’s new home office.




One lucky winner will be chosen to receive a $1,000 AccuQuilt Shopping Spree along with a trip for two to Omaha, NE, to visit AccuQuilt’s new headquarters for the public unveiling of the winning barn quilt design. In addition, the runner up contestant will receive a $250 AccuQuilt Shopping Spree.
How do you enter? It's easy:


No purchase is necessary to enter; just click on the AccuQuilt Barn Quilt Design Contest badge on the right hand side of my blog to be taken directly to the entry site.

Good luck!
