Community Quilts at QuiltCon – #2

Yesterday we looked a number of Community Quilts from QuiltCon. Let’s keep going…..

Each of 4 Individual MQG members interpreted the word “Reverberate” and this is the quilt that was created….

This next quilt is all about finding that the whole is larger than the sum of its parts…..

This one was a huge favorite of mine…..

Apparently, it started out as a Dresden plate that morphed to be wedges placed on a spiral. To keep it symmetrical, each of the wedges was drafted in inkscape and printed out for members to sew the foundation papers.

Some of the designs are phenomenal….

This quilt was a special project with the aim to teach many of their members how to paper piece…..

I would say that they were successful!!

From the artist statement for the next quilt….. “Our finished quilt is a testament to our ability to work together, work through differences, and find common ground. In the end, we all loved this quilt”…..

To me, that attitude is what this challenge is all about!

The makers of the next one described themselves as “Neighbors, but strangers” who met when each heard the rumor that there was another quilter in the neighborhood……

I love that their friendship blossomed just like this quilt did.

The quilting added a lot to the design…..

This group from India used interesting colors chosen from the ones provided…..

The quilting on this next piece was done on a domestic sewing machine…..

Yes, you heard me right….a DOMESTIC…

This final one for today caught my eye initially, but I loved it even more after I read the quilt name…..

To give you an idea of scale, many of the strips were 1-inch!!

Alright….that is it for today but don’t worry, there are many more to come.

See you tomorrow!!
