Liberty of London have set a competition for quilters but it’s going to be tough going for anyone who takes it on. They want a ‘most exquisite, most intricate, most amazing quilt’ made using Liberty fabrics, no bigger than 180cm square – that’s about 6 feet square – and all to be finished and a photograph emailed to them by 30th April 2010. I suppose it’s possible but eating and sleeping might have to go out of the window! I have to mention that their fabric costs £19.95/metre plus post and packing if you aren’t in London. In case you’re keen, I’d better mention that the prize is £500.00 for the winner to spend at Liberty. Get stitching?! Well, look on the bright side, they didn’t set a minimum size, did they!
