I’ve been home from QuiltCon 2022 for a week now, and find myself reflecting on the conversations about quilts, as much as the gorgeous quilts on display. It was so great to be surrounded by quilters, and connect in person after so much isolation. I of course took lots of photos to share, and I’ve narrowed my post down to 20 quilts of the 300+ at the show – which is no small feat! Let’s take a look at the quilts –

QuiltCon 2022 was a gorgeous celebration of some of the difficulties we’ve collectively faced in the last two years. Seeing friends and the many quilts at the show was very inspiring! Do you have a favorite quilt from the post? I’d love to know in the comments! I hope you are inspired to make something new today.

Hi Amy! Thanks for posting some of the quilts. My favorite one I would have to say is the “Give and Take” quilt. That’s today’s favorite…definitely a lot of inspiration there.
Thank you so much for showing my quilt, Amy. This made my day!

It was a hard choice, I really liked the quilt that received 1st place but I can see “What Grows” on my living room wall. Thanks Amy for sharing these…. Leona
