Featured Quilt - Second Place Small Quilts at QuiltCon 2024
Outer Orbit by Stephanie Ruyle won Second Place - Small Quilts (Sponsored by SpoonFlower) at QuiltCon 2024. How did Stephanie create this out-of-this-world quilt? Here's a little insight from Stephanie herself about the design process. "Hand drawn inset, stacked curves in multitude of colors contrast with heavyweight slub black linen creating the improv impression of the edge of outer orbit. Keeping the linen from stretching on the bias when piecing was challenging, but worth it. The repetition of the curved orbit is echoed subtly with color matched thread, adding just a bit of texture to the “void” of deep space."
