The Quinobequin Quilters Guild had a quilt show on April 1-2, 2016.
Here are some of my favorites.
 |
| "Around the Corners with 30 Stripes 2" by Winnie Wong, Waban, MA The design is from "Shots and Stripes' by Fassett + Lucy (2013). I used 30 different woven striped and 3 solid fabrics. Machine Pieced and Machine Quilted by Concessa Sheare |
 |
| "Handerkchief on Point" by Judith Weinberg, Needham,MA "When I saw this quilt on the wall of the Buton Box I knew I had to make it - or at least try! The instructions are from the book, "Shots and Stripes," by Kaffe Fassett and Liza Prior Lucy. When our home needed reconstruction after the ice damage from the winter storms of 2015, we chose our new bedroom colors to match the quilt. We have a red wall, light yello walls and striped valances to match that I made from additoinal Kaffe Fassett fabric. I learned a lot about piecing and placement when working on this quilt. We love the new look; the ice dams were gifts in disguise! Machine Pieced, and Machine quilted by Dragonfly Quilts |
Pay attention to the fabrics used in this quilt. It is such a challenge to use a fabric that one does not like. What would you have done with such a fabric? Donate it? Throw it out?

| "Ode to ATO: Tufts Co-ed Fraternity" by Janet Jankowiak, Needham, MA "I acquired 10 yards of this crazy fabric for $5 at the QQ auction in 2015 and was urged by friends to use it in Concessa's Stack-N-Whack Row class. Early on I decided it would be a great laugh for my son's co-ed "fraternity" of swimmers, sailors, and divers at Tufts: ATO of Massachusetts. I clearly deviated from the class pattern..." Machine pieced, Hand Appliqued, Machine Appliqued, Embellished, Machine Quilted. |

| "Vintage Timing" by CharAnn Brown, Framingham, MA "This is a Jen Kingwell design (Steampink) made for my son and daughter-in-law's wedding that had a vintage theme.

| "J'aime Paris" by Cathy Clemens, Needham, MA I made this quilt as a reminder of my semester in Paris during college where I studied art as well as French language and culture. It's small enough to hang on my bedroom door. Machine Pieced, Hand Appliqued, Embellished, Machine Quilted |
 |
| "Waves" by Kathy Whelan, Westwood, MA I had fun raiding my stash to make this landscape quilt. I sued a sheer overlay to make the sand sparkle, and then used my collection of glass beads to embellish it. I made a similar quilt for a friend who, like many, finds solace in a beach. Machine Pieced, Embellished, Machine Quilted |
 |
| "Frog Festival" by Lauren Langevin, Natick, MA When I was visiting my father-in-law in Kelowna, BC, Canada I found a wonderful quilt shop. INside there was a quilt that was filled with frogs... and since I love frogs I couldn't resist. This is my interpretation of the quilt. Machine Pieced, Machine Appliqued, Embellished, Machine Quilted |
 |
| "4460 Pieces!" by Joann Thurston, Westwood, MA I loved this quilt when I saw it and decided to take the class. I chose to make it in Asian fabrics which I collected while on a bus trip to Pennsylvania quilt shops and show. It used 25 light and 25 dark fat quarters. Machine Pieced, Machine Quilted by Concessa Shearer |
 |
| "Friends" by Caroline Blair" Wellesley, MA The quilt was started a couple of years ago with my quilting circle. It was so much fun seeing everyone's different interpretations. Machine Pieced, Hand Appliqued, Machine Quilted by Melissa Heys. |
