American Made Brand Mini Quilt Challenge

Last summer I decided to enter the American Made Brand Tiny Quilt Challenge.  They were looking for tiny quilts- less than 15" square and the top 40 entries would hang in a special exhibit at Road to California 2016.

Here is my entry, "Exploding Star"- it is 14" square.  I cut tiny diamonds from a charm pack of American Made Brand Solids and then used Mistyfuse to attach them too the black background.  Then I quilted the whole thing using a spiral pattern with black thread, to add to the illusion that the star was exploding.

Then, I heard in the fall that my quilt was chosen to be a part of their exhibit at Road to California- I was so excited!  Road to California was last weekend and I spent half the weekend on Instagram looking for pictures of the exhibits but there didn't seem to be a large number of people instagramming the quilt show.  Luckily, Clothworks posted pictures yesterday of the show on their blog.

Can you see my quilt in the top row center of that picture?  There are better pictures of all the quilts in the exhibit here.  It is awesome to see all the quilts in the show- go and check out all the tiny quilts!
