Sandra Morgan Cockrum's Quilt "Star of the Show"

Sandra's quilt "Star of the Show", 83" x 83", showcases her quilting. We loved how she emphasizes shapes by quilting heavily around it and letting it stand out. The blocks created by heavy quilting around them were then quilted with a small square in the middle. These blocks then were used as part of the piecing design. Make sure to see the last close up that also shows the couching. The quilt was exhibited at Spring Paducah in the Wall Quilts - Movable Machine Quilted Category and used Couching, Free-Motion Quilting, and Machine Piecing. (We would have loved to see the original plan layout of this quilt.)

This is sooo beautiful. Congratulations , Sandra !! I found the leading paragrah of this newsletter a bit confusing. I read it 3 times before scrolling to the close up and THEN knew what it meant. DUH! I used to be a blonde. (apparently, right?) :lol I especially love the extra step of couching. What an unexpected element.
