"New Perspectives" by Helen Butcher won First Prize - Contemporary Quilts at the 2022 Birmingham Festival of Quilts.
Inspiration: "I have always loved 3-D imagery and wanted to create a contemporary version of a traditional sampler - complete with corner stones. I also had great fun choosing the fabrics for this piece. This new design now forms my latest Block of the Month."
Materials: Commercially Printed Cottons, with Cotton Batting & Backing
Technical Information: Foundation Paper Piecing for main blocks & miniatures
Festival of Quilts Judge's Statement: "The judges were impressed that the Quilter was able to turn traditional blocks into a contemporary quilt. It demonstrated good perspective, effective value changes and combines scale and proportion to create a lively composition."
