starAs you know, three TQS members, geoquilterfeatheredstar, and mkdquilts, have made it to Round 2 in the McCall's Quilt Design Star contest.  They were given 10 fat quarters from which to create a quilt larger than 24" x 24." Each quilt had to use at least 8 of the fat quarters and make up at least 50% of the top of the quilt.  

Each challenge round is judged by a panel as well as you, the quilting public. You'll have a tough time deciding as there are some really spectacular quilts this round. Voting has begun for Challenge #2 and runs through November 29. You can vote daily. Click here to vote for your favorite.  When you reach the page:  Click on the Vote Tab to see the quilts.  

Here's a look at geoquilter's challenge #2 entry, Bouquet for the Birds. You can see her design process by heading over to her blog. There, qeoquilter demonstrates how she shaded her flowers and her thought processes behind the making of her quilt.  She also has some fabulous videos on applique.    

         

Featheredstar came up with a completely different look for her challenge #2 entry, Who Needs Television.  Isn't it amazing how different the same set of fabrics can look?  To learn more about Featheredstar, click here.
