Take the Stairs (which means there's no easy way to reach a goal) by Charles Cameron was inspired by a 1965 Bruno Morassutti and Enzo Mari work. It's a take on how focusing on process over product brings personal growth.

Memories of a pink velvet story time chair are reflected upon in the paper-pieced Aunt Sophie's Chair by Susan Brakeman. This is another example of color transitioning and negative space increasing as you transition across the quilt.

Falling Stars by Tighe Flanagan is a deconstruction of a traditional twelvefold geometric pattern. The entire quilt is composed of triangular patchwork units. Off-white ghost units were used to create negative space.

There were so many great quilts, so I hope to be back soon with more.
These are all stunning. Since I wasn't able to make it this year, it's lovely to get to see these; thank you!
