Congratulations to three TQS members, geoquilter, featheredstar, and mkdquilts, who have made it to the final round in the McCall's Quilt Design Star contest.  They were asked to create a complete quilt from start to finish based on their original design entries into the contest.  They were given approximately 4 weeks to do this (over the Christmas holidays).

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 in the final round. Voting has begun for this round and is wrapping up at 1am on February 3rd, 2011. You can vote daily until then. Click here to vote for your favorite.   

On the left is Dilithium Crystals by mkdquilts.  Click here to watch a video of the making of the quilt.

On the right is Blooming Baskets for Sarah Beth by featheredstar.  To learn more about featheredstar, click here.

They are followed by Ambrosia by qeoquilter.  Click here to go to her blog.

With Alex and Ricky on the road to Africa (or is that on the plane, train, and boat?), we thought we'd share a fun video of quilter's license plates.  Some of you might remember that this all began in the Road to California parking lot last year and expanded when TQS asked its members to share their license plates. Once again showing that creativity has no bounds, we present Quilters Hit the Road.
