Winning quilts, the new OQM Challenge Exhibit, and a new challenge coming soon. I'm thinking about a Gee's Bend Look-Alike challenge. Do you think that would be fun?I was inspired to make the quilt above in the early 2000's when the Gees Bend quilts first came to the attention of the quilt world.

If you can photograph it, you

Coming Soon: http://www.onlinequiltmuseum.com/. The museum will have Exhibits focusing on a wide variety of quilt topics, and Galleries featuring the works of individual quilters.I'm hoping you will have your own Gallery in the Online Quilt Museum. It may energize your quilting to see all your quilts on exhibit in one place. If you have a blog, website, Etsy or eBay store, you may link to them
