Featured Quilt - MQG Breakthrough Award at QuiltCon 2025
I may be Square but not Fuddy-Duddy by Jackie Pang won the MQG Breakthrough Award (Sponsored by Modern Quilt Guild) at QuiltCon 2025. Taking a cue from her past as inspiration, Jackie's quilt evokes the colors and style of her youth that will be all too familiar to a generation of people. She says, "This quilt is a tribute to my '70s childhood memories - my mother's dress, my sister's scarf, and home's familiar curtains. Retro hues and geometric shapes from that era carry warmth and vibrance, reimagined here in a fresh, modern way. Centered on squares with unique variations, the design balances structure and flow, creating a lively path of color and shape. It's a rhythmic, modern twist on tradition - proof that a square can be innovative and anything by "fuddy-duddy." |

The Quilt Show Puzzle: Exploring The Wild West |
|

"Windspirit" by Carol Ann Sinnreich
Carol always wanted to make a quilt with wild mustangs because she feels they are iconic features of the West, and Windspirit became that quilt. The major figure of the piece, the white horse, is called a Medicine Hat horse. This is a unique breed that has a white mane, a white tail, and a dark spot on top of their heads. In addition to the central horses, Carol created a beautiful big sky as their backdrop as she is a big fan of skylines from living in the West. The quilt measures 72" x 51".
