This year’s theme is the word “Grateful.” What does grateful mean to you? Whether it’s a feeling, a person, a moment, or a memory—let your interpretation guide your design. There are no specific parameters other than one important note:
If you’d like your project to be included in the 2026 MPS Outdoor Quilt Show, it must be no larger than 70″ x 90″.
We’ll unveil all the challenge entries at our General Meeting on the evening of November 25, 2025. As always, MPS has an incredibly deep talent pool, and we can’t wait to see the heartfelt, inventive, and beautiful quilts you bring to life.
