This year the QuiltCon 2024 Community Outreach Challenge issued a theme of symmetry and a set colorway as depicted below. Participating groups could use any interpretation of symmetry they desired and could only incorporate colors from the designated selection (as few or as many as they wished).
The NWAMQG Community Quilt Committee rolled up their sleeves and got to work! The final design "aimed to capture the essence of our community here in Northwest Arkansas, where cycling currently plays a significant growing role in our local culture. The Razorback Greenway serves as a unifying thread, spanning 40 miles and offering a tapestry of world-class arts, culture, and recreational opportunities for people from diverse backgrounds. The wheels in the design symbolize rotational symmetry and mirror the unity found along the trail. Each of the background blocks, showcasing a scrappy design, was skillfully crafted by our dedicated members." Please admire the gorgeous quilting completed by member Sonja Koch which creates a beautiful texture resembling topographical elevation lines. This lovely piece of NWA will proudly hang at QuiltCon 2024 in February!
