To be Scheduled: Modern Quilters Presentation of Annual Challenge Quilts
Each year our Modern Quilting Bee challenges themselves to make a specific sized quilt with a common theme. This year the theme was “The Sun,” a 24” x 24” interpretation of the sun. It should be exciting to see what they have all come up with!
