2024 SARASOTA MQG - AiRING OF THE QUILTS

One of my favorite quilts shows happens every year at a beach

in Venice FL.

Its the Sarasota Modern Quilt Guilds 

"Airing of the Quilts"

I don't always get to be there that first Saturday of February

but my friend Kathy Guenther does. 

Here are some pics she sent from this years show that 

Kathy took and sent me!

One of the guild challenges was Mid-Century Modern.

Jetsons Meet The Jestsons!

(Anyone remember those cartoons?)

Kathy knows how much I love Dragonflies!

We both like this style of Modern Quilts

and the colors are wonderful

and check out that modern  quilting

And THEN she sent me all these photos...of...

my favorite quilt block

THE CHURN DASH

Look how amazing these modern Churn Dash quilts

have come together

OK I'm not big on solids (which is a principle of  modern quilting)

and I would loose that border....BUT he wonky blocks havee my attention!

I just can't get over these CHALLENGE

Churn Dash Quilts!

Look closely at the Gray quilt on the right!

The churn dash blocks are made...one piece at a time.

Each block get the nest piece and sew on!

Genusis!

And then the BIG Churn on the right

and littles below!

I love the white background quilt with what I would call

positive and negative Churn Dash blocks.

and the blue one on the left is spinning apart!

Then I just had to visit the Sarasota MQG website and look!

ALL these churn dash quilts...ALL part of a guild challenge!

Anyway, I hope maybe next year I can visit in person.

There's nothing as beautiful as quilts by the beach!

Also known as "Quilts in the Wild"
