The premise
A quilt is furniture. Design it like one.
Three interior designers hand over three real rooms. You make one quilt for one of them — scaled, coloured, and finished for that space. The panel never learns your name.
Why enter
A show built for makers who want to be seen in context.
Real rooms, real briefs
Every quilt is made for an actual interior. That constraint is what makes the work sing.
Judged blind
The panel sees only your photographs and the room brief. Your reputation never enters the room.
Cash + prizes
Best in Show wins a cash prize, and every room winner, judge's pick, and People's Choice pick receives a named award.
A curated audience
Interior designers, makers, and quilting collectors come to this show to see work in context.
How the show works
A brief, a quilt, and nothing else on the table.
01
Read the rooms
Three interior designers each publish a real room: palette, proportions, mood board, and the brief they'd hand a maker.
02
Make for one
Choose a single room and make a quilt that belongs in it. Not a quilt with a colour story near it — a quilt for it.
03
Enter with photographs
Four frames: face-on, a detail, the binding corner, and an optional styled shot. Photographs are the whole exhibition.
04
Judged blind
First Glance, then full rubric grading. No names, no followings, no reputations — only the quilt and the brief.
The designers judging
The people whose rooms you are making for.

One quilt, one room, one entry fee.
Judging is blind: the panel never sees your name, your following, or your past ribbons. Only the quilt, and the room it was made for.
