In 2007, twelve quilt artists from around the world, linked only by shared communication via the Internet, came together to challenge themselves artistically.  Each member of Twelve by Twelve: International Art Quilt Challenge took turns setting a theme or color palette for their group to use as inspiration for a piece made in a standard 12-inch size. (In 2012, the size changed to 20” by 12”.) After multiple projects they set their final challenge’s unveiling for December 12, 2012.

This exhibition highlights a selection of the various challenge quilts. They illustrate the distinctive manner used by each artist as they accepted each unique challenge.
