From 15 winning entry quilts in each category in May, Finalists designed a quilt top which incorporated an assigned quilt block for Challenge 1. For Challenge 2, 12 continuing Finalists in each category went on to design a quilt top that incorporated a cut of fabric from the same bolt. For the 3rd and final Challenge, the remaining 9 Finalists in each category competed for the grand prizes with a quilt designed on the theme "Opposites Attract".
Although voting has concluded, you may still view the Challenge 3 quilts:
