QuiltCon 2018 Charity Quilt Challenge

I hope your Holidays have been wonderful. This year we took it very easy. My in-laws came in to visit and bring presents. Then we had a small Christmas morning here at the house. The rest of the days for me were filled with sewing. My husband spent his time on the hunt for a big Buck and chopping wood to keep us very warm and cozy. 

This quilt was pieced by the Northwest Arkansas Modern Quilt Guild. If you want to see it in person, it will be hanging at QuiltCon 2018 in the Charity Quilt Challenge Area.

This year QuiltCon will be in Pasadena, CA on February 22-25, 2018

Lets get to the Quilting...

 If you have read any of my prior post you will know that I am a big fan of basting and yes on the quilt frame. Still use your clamps. Just a quick tip.

 Quilting Designs???

This quilt had an 8 point intersection of bulk in every corner.

So I had to work around those points instead of through them.

In the open space, I quilted all kinds of fun stuff.

 Flowers

 Swirls and Feathers

 Stars

 Straight Lines

 The Color Hourglasses were quilted with the same Triangle and on the Cream Hourglasses, the lines where a bit different all through out.

Details 

Thread - So Fine 402

Batting - 80/20 Hobbs

 I love editing photos here are a few that I changed up a bit.

 Finally the sun came out and I was able to get a few better pictures.

This quilt would not have been made if not for our President, Elizabeth Ray. She is always motivating our guild members to try new challenges.

Thank you, Elizabeth :)

Now it is off to the Binder/Sleever, Dorothy Day.

Thank you 

to everyone that helped make this quilt. 

I am so lucky to be a part of such amazing quilters.

 Love to All, April
