Featured Quilt - Second Place Piecing at QuiltCon 2024
We featured Joy by Cole Whitaker last Summer when it took home Best of Show as part of the A Celebration of Color exhibit at the 2023 Long Beach Quilt Festival. Since then it has toured with the exhibit and was on display the 2023 Houston International Quilt Festival. Just last month it won Second Place in the Piecing category (Sponsored by Aurifil) at QuiltCon 2024. Now with new photos, and more information on the creation of the quilt, take in the "joy" that this so aptly named quilt will bring you when you see it.
After viewing all the photos in the gallery, including the photo that inspired the quilt, click the Quilt Video tab on the Joy quilt gallery page and watch a video from Quilts Inc. where Cole talks with Bob Ruggiero about his quilt, his creative journey, and tracking down the friend who he depicts in fabric!

"She Exclaimed!" by Cathy Perlmutter
She Exclaimed! is a quilt made in the shape of an exclamation point created using Cathy's improv triangle process. It is two parts, with the first being the top of the exclamation point and the second being the dot portion at the bottom. Cathy says, "The exclamation point-shaped quilt won second place in the modern category at Mancuso's Visuals 1 2020 Online Quilt Festival."
