The Big Bang, 78" x 82", caught our attention at AQS Paducah 2017 because the quilting was so integral to the design of the quilt. Besides Free-Motion Quilting, they used Inking, Improvisational Piecing, and Machine Piecing. Congratulations to Kathie Beltz & Mara Novak for getting an Honorable Mention Award in the Large Quilts - Movable Machine Quilted.

Did you know that every season PANTONE evaluates the colors shown by fashion designers in their shows during New York Fashion Week? They then use the information to create the PANTONE Fashion Color Report, where they highlight the top 10 colors in fashion for the upcoming season. Will you be wearing any of these colors this fall, or perhaps using them in your quilts?

Here's what they chose for fall 2017 for New York.

Here is the response from Vimeo our Video Hosting Company:

"I have some news regarding this issue. After some extensive testing, we were finally able to replicate this behavior using an Ipad mini. The word "music" is deriving from your Closed Caption file, but there definitely seems to be a bug on our end that is causing this strange behavior. 

I have passed this information along to our developers, who will take a closer look and try to determine the cause of the problem. I will provide updates as soon as possible. 

Thank you for your patience while we investigate this issue!"

Marilyn Smith of Columbia, Missouri, USA created the quilt Carolina, 84" x 94". It was accepted into AQS Paducah 2017. This is one of those quilts you have to linger on for awhile to understand the work involved. We love the border and the extra details throughout the quilt. It's interesting how she scalloped two of the edges. See how the quilting is such an important part of the design. The techniques include Beading, Bias Work, Hand Embroidery, Free-Motion Quilting, Machine Piecing, and Piped Edging.
