One thing that many of us quilters aspire to is a blue ribbon quilt -- even if we never enter a quilt in the judged category at a show.
In this video, I will share how to create your own blue ribbon quilt. The video includes information on modifying a block from BlockBase Plus to create a ribbon block. And also how to incorporate that block in a quilt. But first, check out the showcase of blue ribbon quilts created using Electric Quilt 8. Blue Ribbon Tech Know Quilters Masters Challenge
Each month, Tech Know Quilter's Masters members have an opportunity to participate in a monthly challenge.
During July, TKQ Master Members were challenged to draft their own "blue ribbon" block that was either 6 x 6 or 12 x 12. In week two of the challenge, they were encouraged to draft a quilt that incorporates the drafted block. According to the rules, they could put just one blue ribbon block in the quilt -- or more. If there were more than one ribbon block, at least one of the ribbon blocks must be colored blue. The block size in the quilt must be either 6 x 6 or 12 x 12. The design challenges in Tech Know Quilters seek to encourage quilters to flex their "creativity" muscle.

Want to know more about Tech Know Quilter Masters?
Tech Know Quilters members are eligible for the Masters program after completing 12 months of Tech Know Quilter classes. Masters members receive fewer lessons each month, with more time to devote to their own projects and challenges. Drop me a note if you have completed over 12 months of Tech Know Quilters and are interested in learning more about the Masters program. You can learn more about the regular Tech Know Quilters membership program and sign up for the wait list for the next open enrollment period here. My Blue Ribbon Quilt
I decided to take the challenge along with my Tech Know Quilter Masters members.
And I will share my process in this weeks post.
Here is my Blue Ribbon Quilt - from the video.
I hope that between the show and the tutorial you are inspired to create your own Blue Ribbon quilt. I would love to see you designs. Feel free to post in the Learning EQ Facebook Group.
