Transparency is a hot trend in quilting! The challenge is to choose opaque fabrics to create the illusion of transparency. The American Patchwork and Quilting Transparency Challenge produced some incredible quilts... We hope you enjoy our photos from this year's QuiltCon show!

Light Me Up, made and quilted by Lindsey Berres (Woodinville, Washington) @peaceandpatchwork.
Light Me Up won 1st Place in the American Patchwork and Quilting Transparency Challenge.
Lindsey Berres says that this quilt explores the concept of additive light through the interplay of color and transparency. "I designed this quilt using varying values of overlapping red, green, and blue (the primary colors of light) to create the spectrum of colors that converge to form the white center. I wanted to create the effect of additive light with fabric, which is a medium that gets its color through pigment, not light."
