Autumn by Kathy Anastasiadis, quilted by Lorrie Meek.

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!)
