Madrona Road Challenge: Gear and Spark

IMG_1088  The Ann Arbor Modern Quilt Guild is participating in the Michael Miller Madrona Road Challenge.  Participants made complete quilts with a perimeter of at least 120″, using fabrics from the Madrona Road line by Violet Craft, and complementing them with Michael Miller Cotton Couture Solids.

  1. I like the loopy gear!!

  2. Nice quilting. I really like the bias strips — they’re crisp and set off the design well.

  3. You already know this, but I love the whimsy of this quilt! Nice work with the bias tape, too!
