QuiltCon 2017 Submissions

I loved how Yvonne @ Quilting Jetgirl shared all of her QuiltCon submissions. I had been meaning to post about mine but did not have a chance until now.

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!

I made Pop Rocks for the Michael Miller Challenge Quilt category. The challenge was to create a quilt using at least two of the prints from the Our Yard collection by Sarah Campbell for Michael Miller Fabrics along with any Cotton Couture solids. My idea was to create a "pop" with the Our Yard prints on a monochromatic, minimalist black and white quilt.

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!
