Rhonda, I don't have a current quilt for this. However, I can cite a few types or examples of what I mean for your consideration...

For instance, the quilts that Jinny Beyer makes are all hand pieced and stitched, both the more traditional blocks and those that one might consider more of an art quilt. Her site gallery is here:

http://www.jinnybeyer.com/quilting-w...lt-gallery.cfm

I am very fond of her style.

Also, I love making kaleidoscope style quilts. I have both hand pieced and machine pieced them using no other techniques than I would have with any other traditional block.

Now, on the other hand, my avatar is something I paper pieced and I know would not qualify even if I wasn't already showing it here. :)

P.P.S. I've never run a contest but I have headed a few block swaps. Boy, do the unanticipated (good!) questions start start flying in something that just seemed so simple to begin with! Thanks for taking this on. It seems like fun for all. :)

Also, you mentioned art quilts. That's is a bit of a subjective phrase. If we use only traditional piecing but perhaps non-traditional blocks or design, would that be OK?

You can do a smaller one rather than a large lap size. It is all up to you. You just have to keep your entry a secret til after the results are posted.
I'm not sure what that would be. Maybe if I saw what you are talking about, But you would have to send it to me in an email not here of course because of keeping it anonymous.

The size is up to you as long as it isn't a twin or a mini!
