I may be Square but not Fuddy-Duddy by Jackie Pang (California) @Charcoalbull

We kept this photo uncropped so you could see this 68" square quilt in perspective against the background of the huge convention center hall. Winner of the MQG Breakthrough Award at QuiltCon 2025, Jackie Pang says: "This quilt is a tribute to my '70s childhood memories - my mother's dress, my sister's scarf, and home's familiar curtains. Retro hues and geometric shapes from that era carry warmth and vibrance, reimagined here in a fresh, modern way." 

 
The design is "a rhythmic, modern twist on tradition - proof that a square can be innovative and anything but "fuddy-duddy." Techniques: Machine Pieced, Machine Quilted on a Frame (Longarm), Machine Quilted without a Frame (Domestic).

Unicorn Barf, 50" square, by Tara Faughnan (2016).  

Rainbow quilts are always a favorite! Tara Faughnan was the featured artist at the show, with many of her quilts in a special display (we'll be showing more in the days to come!)  She says: "When I first began teaching classes on color, I thought I needed a color wheel quilt.  I cut a few squares from every color in my stash at the time, and set about to make a color wheel."

Tara continues, "This quilt taught me about the importance of value and hue, how colors can be both warm and cool depending on who they sit next to, and how context determines how we see color.  I believe Cheryl Arkison came up with the name, and I thought it was perfect."  

View from the Window by Susan Skatoff (Florida) @susan_skatoff

We loved the composition and colors of this quilt, with its thin slices revealed by exposing layers.  Susan Skatoff says, "Irene Roderick told me that everything you see will impact your art.  As we create, our surroundings can influence, direct and shape our work.  I studied with her at Madeline Island School of the Arts and [I] didn't realize, until the quilt was complete, that I had abstracted the view from our classroom."

Techniques used: Machine pieced, improvisational piecing, machine quilted without a frame (domestic machine).

Clamshell Jamboree, 43″ x 58″, by Michelle Bartholomew (Washington) @michellebartholomew

 Winner of the MQG Excellence Award, Michelle Bartholomew says: "Stuck in a design rut, I decided to explore how far I could push the clamshell shape.  Pulling, stretching, adding rows and stripes, putting them upside dosn, is it still a clamshell?  Well I don't know the answer, but I do know that the result was a joyful and vibrant quilt."

 

Michelle says this quilt "taught me that on the other side of struggle and doubt there can be something special waiting if you just keep going."  Techniques used: Machine pieced, hand quilted, machine qulted without a frame (domestic machine).

Wedding Stars: A Smaller Scale

Small quilts are a growing trend!  Here are two Wedding Star quilts made with only 4 interlocking "rings". What a great way to try out this technique without making a huge quilt! These were designed to be used as table toppers. We love the use of colorful batiks in this design!

Wedding Star table topper, made and quilted by Jane Smith

  Jane Smith says, "I have always loved wedding ring quilts as my paternal grandmother made them. This was a fun opportunity to take a class with Rosie Lysinger and make a wedding star for my table.  I also love batiks and the color purple."  Pattern source: Quiltworx.

 Wedding Star, made and quilted by Mary Anne Strauss.  

 Mary Anne Strauss says, "I started this quilt in a class and finished it much later.  This is the first time I've made a Judy Niemeyer pattern and found it very daunting at first.  I'm glad I persevered as I do like the finished table topper." Pattern source: Quiltworx.

Wedding Stars

The Double Wedding Ring is the most popular pattern in the history of quilting, and the addition of stars takes the design to a new level. Here is a gorgeous Wedding Star quilt in blues and white with a flying geese border!

Blue Bayou by JoAnn Hinchliffe, quilted by Valeria Greenwell.  

 We love the gorgeous blue and white contrasts and ombre effects of the piecing in this wedding ring quilt! JoAnn Hinchliffe says, "I started this quilt in a class a long time ago.  I picked it up again years later and finished it, only to be very hesitant about how to quilt it. I finally realized my freehand quilting would not do it justice, so I asked Valeria Greenwell to quilt it for me (Valee G/Quilt Artistry). She did an amazing job. 

  JoAnn says: "As I was sewing on the binding, Linda Ronstadts' "Blue Bayou" came on the radio... and my quilt had its name!" Pattern source: Judy Niemeyer's Bali Wedding Star. 

Note: Photos of Blue Bayou were taken by Quilt Inspiration at the 2025 Tucson Quilters Guild show.  If you enjoyed this post, you might also like our Free Pattern Day for Wedding Ring Quilts (CLICK HERE) and our Free Pattern Day for Blue and White Quilts (CLICK HERE!)

 

Double Wedding Ring quilts: Metro Rings!

The Double Wedding Ring is the most popular pattern in the history of quilting. Here are two beautiful examples. These quilters show that it's never too late to make a wedding ring quilt... these were made to celebrate decades-long anniversaries!

40th Wedding Anniversary Quilt, made and quilted by Jana Knutson (Tucson). 

 Jana Knutson says, "I've wanted to make a wedding ring qult for many years! Finally, for my 40th wedding anniversary, I did it.  It was not as hard as I thought it would be using this pattern and curved rulers."  It must have been fun to choose the pretty batiks for this design. Pattern:  Metro Rings by Sew Kind of Wonderful.  

Double Wedding Ring, made and quilted by Sheila Arnold.  

 Winner of 1st place in its category at the recent Arizona Quilters Guild show, Sheila Arnold says: "I finished this quilt for our 60th wedding anniversary celebration in June, 2024. I used the Quick Curve ruler for the pathwork, quilted the motifs (computer guided) on my embroidery machine (Anita Goodesign) and free-motion stippled the remaining spaces on my home sewing machine."

We love Sheila Arnold's sunflower quilting design in the centers of the rings. Pattern source: Metro Rings by Sew Kind of Wonderful.
