If you’ve ever been tempted to try your hand at making a quilt for the famous Hoffman Challenge, stop by The Joyful Quilter and take a look at this year’s stunning challenge fabric and its coordinates, and you may have difficulty resisting the temptation:

Hoffman Challenge fabric and coordinates

The fabric is printed is lush greens, teals and blues and gilded with gold. The symetrical design lends itself to strong geometric designs, but would also be lovely in soft-edge applique. The richness of the colors make this a very appealing fabric.

If you’re not familiar with this world-wide challenge, go to the Hoffman Challenge web site for information and a look at some of the past winners. There are categories in quilts, wearable art, and art dolls, with cash prizes in each category. But nearly as exciting as getting a cash prize is to have your work selected to be in the Hoffman Challenge traveling exhibit throughout the following year, to be seen at quilt shows all over the country. We encourage you to give it a try!
