For Carnival, Beth Nufer, with Clem Buzick, "wanted to make a modern quilt with a 3D effect." We certainly feel she achieved what she set out to do, as it looks like cubes, lines, and arrows are jutting out right at your face as you look at the quilt. With machine quiltingmachine piecing, and hand appliqué you'll jump from one dimension to the next with just a look.

Carnival by Beth Nufer of Brookings, Oregon, with Clem Buzick, was featured in the Pieced, Large category at Houston 2018.

Which kind of quilter are you? Vote below.

Previously we asked how you stored your stash, what's on your design wall, and how do you quilt your quilts? This week we are actually looking at 3 kinds of quilters (maybe even 4). This week we want to know how you baste your quilts. Thread baste? Spray baste? Pin baste? OR Don't baste at all?

Utilizing folded fabric, Tara's Bazaar Quilt is an improv wonder. In order to make the quilt, Tara had to lay down a row and sew it, then the next, and work her way up the quilt. This means she had to imagine how the quilt was going to look before quilting each row, causing some patterns to go in and out as the quilt was made. When viewed in full, it's amazing to see how all the patterns come together.

TQS continues its feature of quilts exhibited in 2020 at QuiltCon as part of The Quilts of Victoria Findlay Wolfe exhibit. The exhibit is described as:

"Purposeful play is a deliberate free-form practice with one goal in mind: to ultimately improve the outcome of the finished product while capturing a thought, emotion, or technique. Always fascinated by color, pattern, and quilters who came before us, Victoria Findlay Wolfe found her life's true joy in exploring her grandmother's quiltmaking as a starting point.

Her diverse and exciting body of work stirs quilters worldwide to dig deeper, take risks, and experiment with fabric. This retrospective exhibit features a selection of Findlay Wolfe's inspiring quilts and the stories behind them."

Please enjoy Victoria's fifth quilt from the exhibition.

Created during a weeklong workshop with Rosalie Dace (Show 711) and featuring all fused strips, no prints, Tara Faughnan's Strip Quilt is a fusible wonder that you can barely even tell is fused together. But by the time Tara came home after the workshop to put the quilt together, she had forgotten how to use the fusible and needed to relearn the process.
