Featured Quilt - THIS Is The Droid You're Looking
For!
In honor of the Star Wars Celebration 2023, recently held in London, we present BB-8 by Angela Bowman which was on exhibit at QuiltCon 2023 in the Piecing category. Angela says, "Your favorite Star Wars BB unit gets his own modern cameo in this graphic quilt. BB-8 is made of a foundation paper-pieced grid of squares, using solid fabrics. He's cute, round, courageous, and has saved us more times than we know. "Never underestimate a droid." - Leia Organa"

"Kaleidoscopic XXXIX - Right and Wrong Sides Together" by Paula
Nadelstern
In Kaleidoscopic XXXIX - Right and Wrong Sides Together, the left kaleidoscope was pieced traditionally by sewing the right sides of the fabric together. The segments of the right kaleidoscope are identical to the left, but are pieced with the wrong sides of the segments together. A single layer of black tulle covers the right kaleidoscope. The quilt measures 45" x 85" and all of the fabric was designed by Paula with the exception of the batiks and tulle. It is machine pieced and machine quilted.
