Featured Quilt - NACQJ Award of Merit at Road to California 2023
Joan of Arc by Veruschka Zarate was awarded the NACQJ Award of Merit for Outstanding Achievement in Quiltmaking at Road to California 2023. What is the NACQJ Award of Merit? "At the judge's discretion, the NACQJ Award of Merit will be awarded to one quilt which has achieved recognized standards of quiltmaking
excellence."
We certainly agree with the judge's sentiments on Veruschka's excellent quilt, and here is a little bit more background on it from Veruschka herself. "Joan of Arc is foundation paper pieced using 20 colors and 1453 bits of fabric shapes. My aim was to capture her classical complexity through a modern, clean, fabric color palette and minimalistic quilting with a focus on light."
