Description:
The United States was captivated by the total solar eclipse that took place on April 8, 2024. When we saw this quilt at the 2024 AQS QuiltWeek in Paducah we were taken back to that magical day and what took place in the sky. Solar Eclipse by Michelle Trimble was a Semi-Finalist in the Small Wall Quilts - 1st Entry in an AQS Paducah Quilt Contest and features a design based on the Modern Wedge Block. Using improv piecing and free-motion quilting, Michelle has brought to life the amazing sensation of seeing the moon pass in front of the sun and turning day into night for just a few minutes.
