My entry for the Trend-Tex Challenge<\/a> is finished and has been submitted.<\/p>\n

As I said in my last post, I decided to base my design on the theme of 30 years.\u00a0 I wanted a design that looked modern and interesting, and decided on tally marks<\/a>.\u00a0 I\u2019m not fond of the bubblegum pink color in the front fabric, but some extreme fussy cutting minimized that color in my quilt.<\/p>\n

For the quilting, I outlined each set of tally marks with a double-stitched line of contrasting colored thread.\u00a0 Then I quilted the background with straight-line echo quilting. The edges are faced.\u00a0 It is 16 x 20 inches.\u00a0 Below you can see the quilt, a detail, and the back.<\/p>\n

There are some wonderful entries this year – check out the Instagram hashtag #trendtexchallenge<\/a>.\u00a0 There are typically 70 to 80 submissions to this challenge each year (you can see the submissions for the last 3 years here<\/a>).\u00a0 This year’s entries will be on display at Quilt Canada 2018<\/a>\u00a0 in Vancouver BC, from May 31 \u2013 June 2.<\/p>\n
