Finished quilt: Breakthrough
I’ve found the concept of negative space somewhat difficult to grasp at times, and some of the quilts I’ve submitted to the ‘Use of Negative Space’ category in QuiltCon probably didn’t really belong there. (The judges said as much in 2023, although Fanfold was awarded second place in this category in 2021.)
Breakthrough is my attempt to get it right – to make a design that balances positive and negative space, using colour to play with the push and pull of light and dark. The name describes the design itself and what I felt I’d achieved after finishing it!
Finished quilt: Moonshot
I set myself a few loose goals in 2024, one of which was to submit work to a category at QuiltCon that I’d never entered before. There were quite a few to choose from: Improvisation, Appliqué, Small Quilts, Handwork, Group or Bee Quilts, and the Windham Fabric Challenge. (And the Youth category, but I’ve missed my chance with that one 🙂 )
Meet Moonshot, my first-ever submission to the Fabric Challenge category at QuiltCon.
Finished quilt: Starbound
Another finish from last year that’s hanging in this year’s QuiltCon is Starbound. Here’s how it came about.
