When Tara Faughnan saw that Julie Silber was selling an antique Double Wedding Ring quilt, she knew that she wanted it. At the time though she just couldn't bring herself to purchase it. So to honor the quilt, she made her own. Tara's Double Wedding Ring quilt is hand quilted, and it was her first foray into harmony and discordance. The idea that you can have two things at the same time being both chaotic and in order. We think Tara did an excellent job merging the two conflicting concepts into one harmonious quilt.

Learn from Tara by watching Show 2709.

When creating her Color Collective BOM, Tara Faughnan had to choose to twelve colors for her design. When it came time to implement those colors in her quilt she chose a hourglass block, but the color palette fell apart. So she decided to create a new log cabin type block that allowed the proportions of the colors to be better represented. Using this design, Tara truly made her Galactic Quilt look out of this world!
