We gave our version there of the challenge. If you want to make something a different size that's ok. It can be totally just for fun or you can decide to enter it into the architectural special quilt contest. While it's all for fun, we have thought about putting the results all together in an article or something in the end.

I thought I would put the parameters here so you don't have to go to another link to find them.
Just for fun: Architectural Quilt Off!
Have you often been inspired by beautiful architecture or architectural elements you see in the world, on the floors of some large building, or pictures from history? If the answer is, “yes” then please join Betty Jo Tatum and Teri Lucas in an architectural quilt-off!
No prizes will be awarded, this is just for fun!
Here are the guidelines:
• Design and create a small wall art quilts around 25” x 40” or 40” x 25” (no smaller) and does not have to have 90 degree corners and straight edges, but should be approximately that size
• Must be a completely original design
• Can be pieced, appliquéd, painted, or whole cloth
• Must be machine or hand quilted by the originator(s)
• The deadline is April 10th 2013.
• Make the entire quilt on your own or pair with a friend for even more fun
• Share your adventure in making this quilt and show your quilt somewhere on The Quilt Show
• Please consider entering your quilt into the special exhibit at Houston International Quilt Festival in 2013. Here’s the link for the 2012 show (entry is now closed for 2012):

Betty Jo,
I do have a question. Is the architectural exhibit at Festival juried? Is there a limit on how many pieces they accept? Will the parameters be the same for 2013 as they are now? Okay that's 3 questions. :wink: I've never submitted anything to a venue like this so I just want to understand. Thanks.

And then, you should know that you don't HAVE to enter the exhibit to participate in Teri's and my challenge, but we thought if you wanted to, this would give you a place to go with your finished quilt beyond a photograph here. We are kind of thinking of writing an article for something somewhere at the end.
And our parameters are written in such a way that we think most shows will take your quilt except AQS Paducah, because for some inexplicable reason they have a gap in their acceptable sizing between miniature quilts of less than 25" and the next acceptable size of 40" width. Since this is a size I frequently work in, it leaves me scratching my head in puzzlement. The other AQS shows accept within that size however. Hope this helps.

Okay, one question from me.....would tiled patterns in cobblestone sidewalks be considered an architectural element?? I have a quilt design already planned, fabrics bought, and with my new sewing machine I could even get it done by April 2013, I think. I have *NO IDEA* if I'd be brave enough to even attempt to submit it anywhere, let alone Houston (!!!), but for the purposes of playing along with you lovely TQS ladies, would a quilt based on cobblestone sidewalks be considered architectural?
If so, I'd love to play along! (also, for your challenge, can it go bigger than 25"x40"? My design is more "snuggle under on the couch" sized..... I'll be doing this quilt at some point anyway, so if I can play along in your challenge that would be a nice bonus for me :-) Just to feel connected to a group in this way, share progress, etc. Of course, if not, I'll be sharing here anyway so do be honest if you think it fits for your particular challenge, Betty Jo.
And -- what a fun idea! I"m really glad you opened it up/suggested it here as well, rather than keep it just between you & your friend.

Tiled patterns as you describe them are clearly an architectural element. The 25 by 40 was a suggested size because we didn't want anyone to go smaller and that is a very good size to work with. I think bigger is ok. So join the fun with us!

Shall we post our progress here? Blog it? Both? Are there any rules for that sort of thing?
