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 by artists around the world. We hope you enjoy our photos!

Sunshine Amidst Rain by Sarah Wigden (Pennsylvania) @misswigglymakes
There are so many things to love about this quilt, including Sarah Wigden's expert use of color and value along with her hand quilting. Sarah says that the design for this quilt had been on her mind for a couple of years and she decided it was time to make it. While making it, she recognized rain/umbrellas in the design but also sunshine motifs in the quilting.
Combining the elements of umbrellas/rain along with sunshine made Sarah think of trying to find the sunshine moments amids the rainstorms of life. "Quilting is one of those spots of sunshine for me." We love the hand quilting which adds a soft texture and shadows to the surface of the quilt.
