Quilting as an Integral Part of the Design - Kathie Beltz & Mara Novak

The Big Bang, 78" x 82", caught our attention at AQS Paducah 2017 because the quilting was so integral to the design of the quilt. Besides Free-Motion Quilting, they used Inking, Improvisational Piecing, and Machine Piecing. Congratulations to Kathie Beltz & Mara Novak for getting an Honorable Mention Award in the Large Quilts - Movable Machine Quilted.

Very pretty quilt, and love the quiting!
And the quilting really makes it. It would be pretty without it, but it carries the pattern through and takes if from just being a pretty quilt to being a real eye catcher.
