TrendTex Challenge 2020

The TrendTex Challenge is an annual fundraising event for the CQA/ACC. Entrants are invited to create a wall quilt using the five specific fabrics donated by TrendTex Fabric Inc.  The theme of this year’s challenge was “2020”.  Entrants donate their wall hangings back to the organization to be auctioned off. The 2020 auction will take place on the biddingowl.com website from October 19 thru 25.

 The quilts have been judged and prizes have been awarded to six quilts. Please view the awards gallery to see the winners of this year’s challenge.
