Modern Quilts @ Paducah: 1st Place - Cassandra Ireland Beaver

The 1st Place Award-Winner in the Category Wall Quilts - Modern was Cassandra Ireland Beaver with her quilt Infused Plaid, 61" x 61". It was quilted with a Stationary Machine using Matchstick Quilting and included Machine Piecing. Her thread supplier is a very happy vendor. Take a second look...the thread is supplying most of the color. Cassandra speaks with Bonnie Browning in a video below the quilt pictures about the design inspiration and more.

I saw this quilt at the MQX show in Savannah. It is a stunner, for sure.

I love, love, love this quilt. I looked at it for a long time at Paducah. I kept going back. What a treasure.

Wow! I love this quilt. It is truly in the category of "quilting makes the quilt". Notice how Cassandra finished it, not the typical binding method but turned under giving it a beautiful linen look. Perfection. Listen to the video of Cassandra explaining how she designed her quilt. Very interesting.

I can see she put a lot of effort into this quilt. It is a great idea.
When I first saw the pic and before I clicked on it to see the whole quilt, my first reaction was "why are they showing a dish towel".
When I looked further, I felt badly that that was my first reaction.

Looks like a tea towel. Very well done
