It's a wonderful time of year to appreciate cool color palettes that feature blue, gray, and white.  Here are some stunning quilts from a 2024 show! The open spaces showcase outstanding machine quilting.

Arctic Shadows, made and quilted by Allyson Naud

The striking contrasts help emphasize the undulating flying geese and the spiky points in this design. Allyson Naud says, "[It is the] definition of "crazy brave": to choose your own fabric color in a Judy Niemeyer quilt pattern."  The outcome is truly stunning.


Kiss Me in the Garden, made and quilted by Candice Sanders.

Winner of Best Solitaire Machine Quilting, Candice Sanders says, "With this quilt I combined my two passions: quilting and gardening.  The center of the quilt is like a small bud, dark and ready to burst.  then there is the beauty of a full flower and finally the fade of beauty past... I used many different types of "Irish Chains" to lead you through the garden."

Candice continues, "I love longarming freemotion [quilting] and developing intricate secondary patterns... I invite you to walk through my garden."

Blues Part 2, made and quilted by Julie Saville

Julie explains that Blues, Part 2 - a track from the Blood, Sweat, and Tears album is one of her and her husband's favorite music pieces. This quilt has a range of blue colors and fabrics.  The pieced quilt is framed by a beautiful appliqued vine.  Note: We're still searching for the pattern source; the vine reminds us of some designs by Edyta Sitar.
