This website has been set up for Contemporary Quilt members to complete their CQ Challenge entries online.
These challenges are exhibited annually.

The challenges are for CQ members only. If this site whets your appetite, please have a look at our main website,  
Contemporary Quilt, which has more information on the group and details on how to join the group.
