Fill out the Fabric Request Form to request challenge fabrics for the 2025 School Block Challenge!
On the order screen, select 'Buy Ticket', select 1 Ticket, (1 ticket = 1 Order) and then when entering your information, select how many packets you are requesting.
School Block Challenge is sponsored by Moda Fabrics, and is a contest & exhibit for students nationwide in grades K-12. Each Fabric Packet includes: Contest Brochure & Entry Form, and 1 Fat Eighth piece of each of the 3 challenge fabrics. A Fat Eighth is roughly 9" x 22".
Deadline to submit blocks is December 2, 2024. Blocks must be either: delivered in person to NQM by 5pm CST on the deadline, OR if mailing, must be postmarked on or before the deadline.
Students must use a recognizable piece of each of the 3 challenge fabrics in a quilt block that measures 16" x 16" in size. Other fabrics may be added to the challenge fabrics to create the block. Blocks can be based on traditional quilt patterns, or be an original design. Blocks must include some hand or machine stitching.
For full rules, see the SBC 2025 Brochure on the website: https://quiltmuseum.org/school-block-challenge/
Entries are judged in the following categories: K-4th grade, 5th–8th grade, 9th–12th grade. Cash prizes are awarded to the Grand Prize and First, Second, Third Place winners in each category. All entries are exhibited in the Museum during the first quarter of the year and then returned once the exhibit closes.
