This kind of thing is fun, except that just like in Chopped, or any other competition, one does not always agree with the judges....

I found it! It's called The Quilt Project. It's from Patchwork Plus in Dayton, Va.
You can still watch it.
Here it is:

I watched a quilting competition just like that online, a couple of years ago. l wish I could remember which quilt shop sponsored it.

They posted a quilting competition in their shop that began with about a dozen or so quilters. Each week? (I think), they were given a theme,or challenge - then they chose their fabrics (and / or used fabrics they were given at the shop), and stitched up small / wall size quilts in the shop, right then. They were given just a few hours, and were then judged in the shop.

Same 4 judges each week.
One person was eliminated, and the remaining contestants were given a new theme or challenge, that was then judged the same day.

And so on until only 2 were left. At that point, the last 2 quilters were given a final challenge, and went home to complete it in a week.

I can't remember which shop it was. I think it may have been held at a quilt shop at or near the Northeastern part of the USA.
All the contestants did such beautiful work, in such a short period of time, It was impressive, and I imagine very difficult to judge.
So fun! I wish they would do it again.

This quilt shop was Patchwork Plus in Dayton, VA, I think. I watched all the episodes and it was very interesting.

I don't know about pitching it for a TV program but it sounds like a wonderful guild project. This is something, that as the program director for my guild, I might try to line up.

Juliasb, that is a great idea. It might take some effort to find judges and get all the logistics down, but worth it, I think.

Missouri Star Quilt Company has done that the last two Birthday Bashes they had in Hamilton, MO. Two teams, each given a certain fabric, and they had a set amount of time to come up with and sew a quilt top. Really fun to watch! Last year was Jenny and Sue Daly against Barb and Mary from Me and My Sister.
