\t\t\t\tWicked Challenge <\/a>in 2014. \u00a0Based on the hit musical, entries had to include specially dyed lime green fabrics (Cherrywood Wicked Greens) and black in their designs. The traveling exhibit was displayed at Road 2015 <\/a>to much fanfare.\"\"<\/a>\nCherrywood\u2019s second challenge was The Lion King<\/a> in 2016. \u00a0All entrants started with the same four hand-dyed Cherrywood fabrics (in golds and black) and designed their own original quilts within a 20-inch square. What made this theme especially significant was that 2017 is the 20th<\/sup> Anniversary of The Lion King musical. The traveling exhibit began 2017 at Road to California<\/a> and will end its tour in November 2017 at the Minskoff Theatre in New York. \u00a0\u00a0\"\"<\/a>\nDuring Road to California 2017, the next Cherrywood Challenge was announced \u2013 and it\u2019s not based on a musical. Instead, the 2017 Cherrywood Challenge is a tribute to Vincent van Gogh, one of the world\u2019s beloved artists. Entrants are encouraged to use Vincent van Gogh\u2019s paintings as inspiration to think “outside the box” in creating new fiber art. \"\"<\/a>\nAs with Cherrywood\u2019s other challenges, each entry must include three official Cherrywood fabrics (this time they are the van Gogh Blues<\/em>) and black. The quilt must \u201cread\u201d blue; 60-70% of the quilt top must be in blue hues. Accent colors may be used but they have to be Cherrywood fabric.\"\"<\/a>\nThe final size of the quilt is 20\u201d x 20\u201d consisting of a top, a middle and a backing with a maximum thickness of one inch. \u00a0Any technique or fabric manipulation is acceptable as long as it maintains the color and character of a textile quilt. Embellishments may be added, with the exception of glitter, but must stay within the 20-inch size. No sleeve is required.\nThe cost to enter the challenge is $45.00<\/strong> and includes the registration fee, shipping, return shipping and one fat quarter of each of the required fabrics. \u00a0Photos of the entries must be received by Cherrywood by 11:59 PM on August 1, 2017<\/strong>. Finalists will be announced and notified by email on August 11th<\/sup><\/strong>. Finalist quilts are to be sent to Cherrywood Fabrics by August 25th<\/sup><\/strong>. And then on September 1st<\/sup><\/strong>, the winners will be announced as well as the quilts that will be included in the traveling exhibit.\nCash prizes totaling $1,000<\/strong> is being offered to the winners. \u00a0Awards will be given for first, second and third place:\n\n\n

First Place – $700 Gift Card<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Second Place – $200 Gift Card<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
