Connections, made and quilted by Sandy Rindlesbach (Utah).
Sandy Rindlesbach explains the quilt title: "Life is about the connections we make. Some of our connections are strong and powerful. They are a dominant part of our lives. Some connections will, for a season, take a step into the background. They have contributed to who we are today. We might not interact with them regularly, but they are still important to us. By viewing all of our connections, we gain a clearer picture of who we are."

Flying geese were quilted into the background using a Forte (Amara 24) using free-motion, rulers, and Pro-Stitcher. Sandy Rindlesbach talks about the Amara 24 in this YouTube video:

Tons of gorgeous prints and batiks were used in this quilt, based on a published design: Jellystone by Miss Rosie's Quilt Co, in the book titled Miss Rosie's Spice of Life by Carrie Nelson (currently available on Amazon and at various book sellers.)
Winner of Honorable Mention (white ribbon), Kathy Anastasiadis says, "I collected 1/4 yard cuts and fat quarters for over five years. There were 829 squares, rectangles, and strips cut to begin with. Strip sets were cross cut... who knows how many pieces [there are] in this quilt?" The blocks were beautifully pieced (none of the triangle points were cut off!)
