It won again. This time Philippa's quilt won 1st Place Miniature at the Houston International Quilt Festival 2019.

 

 

-----------

Philippa Naylor has been making really small quilts lately. Her last award-winning quilt was done with appliqué.This time she chose to piece the quilt and add just a small bit of appliqué. It appears, however, whatever technique she chooses, the creation turns into an award-winning quilt. This time her quilt, Circuit Training, won the AccuQuilt Best Miniature Quilt Award at the 2019 AQS QuiltWeek Show in Paducah.

Measuring just 11½" x 11½" (30cm x 30cm), it was also the 2018 First Place winner of the Miniature Category at the Festival Of Quilts Birmingham, England. To put the size in perspective, one of those pieced circles is about the size of your thumbnail. (click here to see a photo...scroll down on that page.)

Philippa was interviewed about her quilt by Liz Hammonds in Paducah. Learn how she made the quilt and take a peek at three other prizewinning miniature quilts that Philippa has made. Watch the interview below the photo.

The work that went into that must have been horrendous. At 11 1/2' block, each little square with each curved piece looks as if it had to be done under a huge magnifying glass otherwise, if I tried it it would have no eyes left. Exceptional.

Absolutely beautiful. Philippa's work is amazing. If possible one day, it would be fantastic, to invite her back to the Quilt Show to demonstrate her miniatures . Thank you for sharing.

I was Initially amazed at the small pieces in this quilt. Then I watched the video and was blown away when Ms. Naylor put her hand next to the quilt, and I realized how tiny it really is. Also enjoyed the wholecloth quilts in the video. Ms. Naylor is an awesome artist.
