More is More by Laura Loewen won First Place, Appliqué at QuiltCon 2020.

Artist Statement: "More is More is based on the overwhelming feeling I felt after attending QuiltCon in February 2019. I wanted to illustrate everything in one quilt; to explore new techniques; quilt-as-you-go, hand appliqué, mixing quilting types. From all the quilts displayed in 2019 my take-away was: dark, bright, bold, contrast, unexpected, texture, and depth. I hope I have captured even just a fraction of the beauty the quilters of the MQG stitch into their projects every day."

I think you did a great job of capturing all the things you wanted to show. I love the quilt and I am not ususally a fan of modern quilts.

Interesting mix of big stitch hand quilting and machine quilting.

Perfectly round circles, amazing appliqué and I like to mixture of hand and machine appliqué! Indeed, it deserved a prize!

Wow! If I had zillions of dollars I would try to buy this as extraordinary art for my new home. This is brilliant, the artist has sewn perfect circles and I hope she was thoroughly pleased and surprised to win. I love modern art in quilts.

Very well done. I very much like combining machine & hand quilting. Appliqué is beautifully excited.

The circles look perfect and the hand textured embroidery with alternated direction is surprising. The colors balance so nicely as do the circles. Love the contrast. A labor of love. So colorful!
