The Bias Tape Applique Challenge, sponsored by Panasonic at QuiltCon 2015, was a cool idea and some great quilts resulted, as you will see. QuiltCon, if you are just tuning in, is a now-to-be-annual conference sponsored by The Modern Quilt Guild.

We will have coverage coming up of the piecing, minimalist and negative space categories.
