Community Quilts at QuiltCon – #3

Well, we have now looked at about half of my favorites from the Community Quilt division.

Lace up your comfy shoes….we have more to see!!

Twenty five guild members participated in the paper piecing of this design. The designer set out to represent radial and transitional symmetry…..

“Facets in Equilibrium” by Austin MQG

The quilting was quite nice too…..

The photo of this next quilt doesn’t do it justice……

“Striking Strings” by St Louis MQG

They worked with all 8 colors suggested by the rules and almost 100 members pieced the 6-inch string blocks!!

I took SO many photos of this next quilt….

“Good Vibrations” by Edinburgh MQG

Yes the quilt is stunning but the custom quilting is out of this world…..

I love the wonky striped blocks in this one…..

“Symmetricotious” by South Florida MQG

AND….it was HAND quilted….

This next quilt contains 700 individual blocks…..

“Come Together” by Inland Empire MQG

Members were given Kona cottons in the desired colors and were told to dig through their scraps to add interest. It worked!!!

This next quilt was also a favorite….not just with me but with all attendees…..

“Taking Flight: When Improv Meetes Symmetry” by Denver Metro MQG

Do you have any idea what this design was inspired by??

I won’t keep you waiting……HANG GLIDERS!!

The paper piecing designs are wonderful…..

While I like the design of the next quilt…..

“HMQGeese” by Houston MQG

….the quilting (called Imrpov Wonky Spiral Triangles) is what won me over…..

This quilt marked the beginning of the Rhein (Germany) MQG. They brought together over 100 quilerts to work on this quilt……

“Reflections 1” by Rhein MQG

Okay….one more day to go. Come back tomorrow!!
