Modern Mini Quilt Challenge Winners Announced
Pint-Sized Pinning Packs A Punch

What's more fun than a regular-sized quilt? Well, some would say an even bigger quilt, but we like the creative challenge that a miniature quilt demands. We think The Great Wisconsin Quilt Show would agree with us, as they had a whole competition centered on Modern Mini Quilts. The contest, put on with Nancy Zieman Productions, is the sixth iteration and has just announced its winners. Take a look at these miniature modern marvels!

The Quilt Show Puzzle: A Quilt Not Without Its Pride
"Pride and Prejudice" by Karen Gloeggler

Pride and Prejudice is inspired by the stories and history of Jane Austen. This is the fourth version of the quilt that Karen made, having started three others and not being happy with the way the blocks turned out. The quilt is named after Austen's most famous novel, and because of that Karen wanted the pattern to be really easy for beginners as an entry point. She says that the beauty of the quilt is that it is like a log cabin, in that you can arrange it in as many ways as you can a log cabin block.
