How Small Can You Go?

For the next few days, we will have a stroll thru the “Small Quilts” category at QuiltCon.

To be included in this class, quilts must have a total perimeter of 119″ or smaller, but the quilt can be ANY shape.

Let’s get started.

First prize went to this Mind-Boggling quilt……

It has an astounding 12,720 pieces of fabric!! I have seen a lot of her work in other shows and I cannot IMAGINE how she does this. Each of these blocks in 1-inch!!

Second place went to this visual feast…..

These curves are all INSET….not applique….and the quilting echoes the design perfectly…..

The Third Place ribbon went to…..

It is named for the designer, Walter Gropius, who famously said “The mind is like an ubrella – it functions best when open”.

I like this next quilt as much for the name as for the design……

As she was designing this quilt, her teenage son was discussing the flammability of Cheetos and their use as fire starters. The pattern developed from there!!

This next one was made from an original fabric painting…..

I love the stylized alphabet that appears in this next quilt…..

This was based on a project that encourages artists to explore their unique interpretation of the letters and numbers of the Latin alphabet.

Next is a great improv-pieced quilt…..

Lastly for today, is a perplexing example of dimension…..’

Come back tomorrow for more of these mesmerizing quilts!!
