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.
Allie's quilt, Blooms and Bars, steps outside the boundaries of a traditional stained glass quilt. It harkens back to Allie's roots in crazy quilting and utilizes multi-colored leading.

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.

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.
