I may be Square but not Fuddy-Duddy

"I may be Square but not Fuddy-Duddy" by Jackie Pang won the MQG Breakthrough Award at QuiltCon 2025.

Artist Statement: "This quilt is a tribute to my '70s childhood memories - my mother's dress, my sister's scarf, and home's familiar curtains. Retro hues and geometric shapes from that era carry warmth and vibrance, reimagined here in a fresh, modern way. Centered on squares with unique variations, the design balances structure and flow, creating a lively path of color and shape. It's a rhythmic, modern twist on tradition - proof that a square can be innovative and anything by "fuddy-duddy.""

Techniques Used: Machine Pieced, Machine Quilted on a Frame (Longarm), Machine Quilted without a Frame (Domestic)
