2025 President’s Challenge – Savannah Squares

Savannah Squares

A Piece of Savannah Through Your Eyes

Inspired by the cherished tradition of the Baltimore Album quilts from my home state of Maryland—which brought together deeply personal symbols and imagery into expressive, story-filled blocks—this year’s President’s Challenge invites you to create your own Savannah Square.

Your challenge: design and complete a 16″ x 16″ quilt that reflects what Savannah means to you. It could be inspired by your favorite square, a blooming tree in your neighborhood, marsh birds on a morning walk, a bit of historic ironwork, or simply the way the sunlight hits your porch. This is your opportunity to share a personal connection to Savannah—through color, texture, shape, and stitch.

Whether you work in appliqué, piecing, embroidery, or mixed media techniques, all approaches are welcome. This is a space for creativity, not convention—so let your materials and methods speak as freely as your inspiration.

Guidelines:

  • Create one finished 16” x 16” square quilt sandwich
  • It should be an original design, inspired by something personal and Savannah-based
  • Any technique—or combination of techniques—is welcome
  • Be ready to share a brief reflection at the November meeting: what inspired your square, what you challenged yourself to try, or what you learned

All completed “Savannah Squares” will be shared at the November meeting where you can tell your story and a give glimpse of Savannah through a quilter’s eye.

We can’t wait to see your piece of the story.
