There is a lot that goes into making sure the quilt is finished on time. By submitting a design you are agreeing to lead the process and work with the Board/Community Engagement Committee to ensure every step of the process is completed on time. The guild will pay for the fabric needed. Historically QuiltCon has accepted all community engagement quilts but this year they are limiting it to the first 80 submitted. This is the reason for the sped up timeline.
