QuiltCon acceptance e-mails were sent out last week so now I get to not only show you the quilts I submitted, but also let you know if they got accepted.
You can click on the quilt title to learn more and see additional pictures of the quilts.
1. Pop Rocks - Accepted!
2. Curated Cabins - Accepted!
I made Curated Cabins as a submission to the new magazine called Curated Quilts (it was not accepted into the magazine). The magazine was looking for mini Log Cabin quilts 10"x10" up to 16"x16" using their color palette of 5 colors.
3. Taste the Rainbow - Rejected
Taste the Rainbow really had three purposes. The first was as an entry in the Greenville Modern Quilt Guild's challenge quilt, which was to create a modern quilt based on the Birds in the Air block (Taste the Rainbow won first place). The second was as an entry into the flying geese challenge quilt category for QuiltCon. And the third was for a new decoration for my son's room (he loves bright colors and rainbows). Two out of three is not bad and new my son gets the quilt hung in his room earlier than planned. (If you would like to make your own Taste the Rainbow, I have the templates for sale here.)
4. Arrow Point Path - Rejected
I really like the design of Arrow Point Path (available as pattern on Quilt Theory) but I predicted that it was not modern enough to make the cut for QuiltCon. I was not surprised it did not make it in but I am glad I at least tried submitting it.
I will be attending QuiltCon 2018 in Pasadena so I am very excited that two of my quilts will be hanging. If you are going to be at QuiltCon I hope I get to see you there!
Way to go! 50% ain't bad.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. It is interesting to see what was entered and what was accepted. I particularly like Pop Rocks and the fun shapes that are formed in the negative space.
ReplyDeleteCongrats! Thank you for sharing, Susan
ReplyDeleteI really am excited about Pop Rocks. A 50/50 acceptance rate seems pretty awesome to me. I think that unless we submit a few that feel like a stretch, we don't learn anything. I am excited to see your quilts but even better you in Pasadena!
ReplyDeleteAmazing entries! Congrats on having 2 accepted! I love the rainbow quilt and am surprised it wasn't accepted!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the accepted entries! I'm surprised the rainbow quilt was not accepted, it's my favorite of the set.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!! I think all your quilts are great.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Your Michael Miller fabric challenge is cool!
ReplyDeleteGreat quilts. I know it will be fun to see what others have done, but I am CERTAIN others will enjoy these two epic wonderful quilts
ReplyDeleteCongratulation to the acceptances. That is very exciting. I wish I could come but Pasadena is half a world away. =)
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about Arrow Point Path! I made a version of it this summer using my batik scraps. Love the quilt!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! These are all beautiful!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your acceptances. They are all beautiful.
ReplyDeleteCongrats they are all lovely!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your two acceptances.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on getting 2 quilts accepted! I've heard QuiltCon is very selective, so that's a big accomplishment. I'm disappointed Arrow Point Path didn't make it, I personally think it's very modern, but judging is subjective.
ReplyDeleteWell done on two acceptances~¬! That is really fantastic
