Featured Quilt - Second Place Appliqué at QuiltCon 2023
Out of the Blue by Linda Branting won Second Place in the Appliqué category at QuiltCon 2023. Even though it is an Improvisational Modern Quilt, the quilt's final design was even a surprise to Linda, who took joy in the hand appliqué and improv piecing that brought it to life.
She says, "Out of the Blue continues my improv ring series. Returning from Alaska this summer, I pulled this palette of icy blues and cut a stack of rings in various sizes. As with other improv quilts, I create units without a design in mind and rearrange them many times. The final design always surprises me."

The Quilt Show Puzzle: Following A Quilted Compass
|
 |
|
|
"My Little Enchanted Compass" by Cristina Arcenegui Bono
My Little
Enchanted Compass was based on an illustration by Scottish author Johanna Basford, used with her permission. After discovering coloring books for adults, she decided that that would be her thing and she would convert these illustrations into quilts. After seeing Johanna's designs, Cristina knew that she wanted to adapt them, but found it a challenge at first because the pictures were meant to be colored, not quilted. To get around this, Cristina micro-quilted her quilt so that people could see the figures and shapes stand out. After finishing it, she sent it off to AQS Lancaster where it won First Place in the 1st Entry in an AQS Lancaster Quilt Contest in 2017, thus putting Cristina on the quilting map in the US.
