Featured Quilt - 1st Place Modern Traditionalism at Quiltcon 2022

Hot by Leanne Chahley won First Place in the Modern Traditionalism category at Quiltcon 2022 and we certainly feel that this quilt is on fire with its modern take on the log cabin block. Leanne says, "I drew significant inspiration for the style of the improv log cabin blocks from a quilt called Iceberg made by my internet friend, Elaine Wick Poplin and I thank her for that inspiration and the encouragement to make Hot and the enter her in QuiltCon."
