The prompt for this quilt was 'Circuit board,' using scrappy backgrounds of reds with circuit board-inspired features in grey and white. It was a fun challenge to piece the variety of block styles made by my BeeSewcial mates into a cohesive design. A base layer of matchstick quilting in a variety of reds also helps tie the whole quilt together. For a final 'circuit board' touch, I outlined the white and grey features with retroreflective thread, which gives an added metallic-like pop when photographed with a flash. Give it a try and see for yourself! In our technology-enabled lives, circuit boards play such an important role in helping us stay in touch and communicate with each other so it was easy to come up with a name for this quilt -- BeeConnected.
