Featured Quilt - No Need to Feel "Blue" About This Quilt
To finish off our mini series of Kawaii quilts featured in Alex's Monday LIVE discussion with Teresa Duryea Wong, we bring you a quilt by Aki Sakai, whose spectacular and detailed miniature work you may already know. The quilt, Blue Tone, won the Coats & Clark Best Wall Hand Workmanship award at AQS QuiltWeek - Paducah 2014. It is based on family memories and her favorite flowers.
To take in every exquisite detail of Aki's quilt, you'll want to see the amazing detail photos in the Featured Gallery after seeing the full quilt to absorb and appreciate all the work that was put into it. |

The Quilt Show Puzzle: A Many Colored "Coat"

"Joseph's Coat" by Lynette S. Warren
Knowing that quilt's have traditional names, even biblical ones, Lynette named this quilt, Joseph's Coat, after the traditional Joseph's Coat pattern on which it was based. Again using batik fabrics as her fabric of choice to give her quilt a Modern edge, Lynette made the effort to try and not repeat a batik choice among the many, many pieces used throughout the quilt to present a vibrant and colorful creation. To achieve this effect, and to give off a scrappy feel, Lynette only bought her batiks a quarter-of-a-yard at a time.
