Featured Quilt - Converging On The Right Idea

Tape, be it scotch, masking, or bias, is an extremely versatile tool that can be used in a variety of ways in the creation of a quilt. For today's quilt, we're focusing on Latifah's Saafir's quilt, Convergence, featured at Quiltcon 2022 as part of her personal exhibit and its creation using bias tape. She writes, "I started imagining quilts with bias tape being the main element. Convergence was my first quilt exploring this technique. And guess what - it worked! I love to think about the quilt that took me down a rabbit hole."

Love what Latifah did with bias tape in her quilt? Why not try your own variation in black and white using Black Bias Tape. It's in stock and on sale right now in The Quilt Show Store. So what are you waiting for? Don't be "biased" about it until you try it yourself!

Learn other techniques from Latifah by watching her in How to Build Block Quilts with Latifah Saafir | Antique Sampler Challenge.

The Quilt Show Puzzle: Feeling Blue? Not With This Quilt!
"The Blue One" by Teresa Duryea Wong

The Blue One got into Houston 2021 and is all improv pieced. It measures 62" square and contains over 2,600 pieces cut down from larger improv pieces that Teresa had made. Every piece is about an inch to an inch-and-a-half across, with all of the fabric coming from Marcia Derse's blue lines. What is most impressive about the quilt though, is that each of the over 2,000 pieces contains a unique free-motion design that Teresa quilted.

See more of Teresa's quilts in Improv String Quilts and a History of Japanese Textiles with Teresa Duryea Wong | Using Appliqué to Mask a Mistake.
