Natalie and Kathleen at Piece N Quilt have designed a 15" mini quilt that can be made quickly, is a great use of scraps, and adds a fun touch of color for St. Patrick's Day!

Heidi uses it to easily identify hexadecimal colors to use in her layouts for her mosaic quilts.
It is also a powerful tool for choosing colors for quilts, and makes creating a color combination as easy as 1, 2, 3.
1. Choose a starting color for your project and find the color card that corresponds with it.
2. Choose one of the illustrated color scheme options (monochromatic, complimentary, analogous, etc.) on the card to add colors to your project.
3. Find the corresponding companion color cards for your chosen option to choose tonal variations and create the perfect color combination!
Easy-breezy!

Alisa Kutsel gathered a group of quilters with the prompt of color overlay to create a feeling of transparency. This quilt is the interpretation of those overlays by the ten different members of the group.

Title of Quilt: Botanica Australis
Quilter's Name: Denise Griffiths
Location: Shellharbour, NSW, Australia
It was this time last year that I noticed the Miniature Swap advertised and I thought why not, you never know where it takes you. Well I can tell you, it took me a long way. I contacted my partner Sue and from the first email I felt a real bond with her. We exchanged our life’s journeys and how we got to this point and it was surprising how similar they were. The best was yet to come. Sue lives in San Diego and I live near Sydney, Australia. My son and his wife had just moved to San Diego to live, while my husband and I had just arranged to fly over and spend some time with them. The second day I was there, Sue arrived to take me out for the day with her friend and have lunch. Another day she took me to meet her quilt group who were so welcoming. At the end of the day I felt like I had known her for a long time, we just clicked. I really value Sue as a friend and wanted to make my quilt to her a special gift, a reflection of what I love in my country which is our Australian Native Flowers. Can’t wait to see what my quilt will be like from Sue and I am sure it will be special too, so thank you “The Quilt Show” for making this possible, it really is a small world.
Title of Quilt: California Poppies
Quilter's Name: Susan Atlas
Location: Lakeside, California, USA
I live in beautiful San Diego, Ca. I make traditional and art quilts and love to design my own. My first quilt was a rail fence quilt that ended in the trash, but I learned the importance of consistent 1/4 inch seams. Olfa cutters, quilt stores, quilt shows, fabric, fabric and fabric came next. My "Old Crow" friends that have been meeting every week for about 30 years and we challenge each other. So when the opportunity came to do the IMQE challenge my friend Christine and I decided to join. I was so lucky to get Denise Griffiths for my challenge friend from Australia. My Dad was stationed there in WWII and always told us stories about his time there. My husband and I were lucky to be able to visit Sydney in 2009. We started writing to each other and decided to do a theme, abstract art, native flowers, and using black and white materials. We also wrote about our families and Denise has a son and daughter-in-law who live in San Diego. When she came to visit him in the summer we arranged to go to Rosie’s Calico Cupboard, a large quilt store in San Diego and a museum in Balboa Park, and then she came to my house for a meeting of the “Old Crows” group. In November we also got to visit after she went to Houston Quilt Show and then stopped in San Diego. We feel like we are sisters now. Thank you for the opportunity to do this and meet a new friend.

Stabilizer has so many uses - appliqué, machine embroidery, foundation piecing, machine quilting, supporting difficult fabrics. It is just one of those things that comes in handy in a multitude of different ways.
Stable Stuff Poly (by Ricky Tims!) is a versatile, machine printable multi-purpose fabric stabilizer that can be left in place or torn away after stitching. If left in place, Stable Stuff Poly will soften with washing to become a fine soft layer inside your quilt or project.
Here, Ricky uses it as a foundation to keep his project from puckering while he is doing free-motion work.

A portion of the Childress Collection was on display at QuiltCon 2019. One of the more stunning pieces was this rare, antique Bullseye quilt. According to the curator, most known Bullseye quilts are attributed to Lenhartsville, PA, circa 1870, and tended to have white space between the circles. A later group, post 1900, filled in the white space with more circles. This may be one of those quilts and is attributed to 1920.
You can learn to make your own Bullseye quilt with Becky Goldsmith in Show 2401.

Barbara writes of Joyful Journey, "This quilt represents a turning point for me. I decided to do my best work in this quilt, piecing as precisely as I could. I chose fabrics I loved and found a magnificent quilter, Pamela Spencer Dransfeldt, the Joyful Quilter, to custom quilt it. The pattern is Washington Medallion by Sue Garman and can be found at Sue's website here."
