Winner

One winner was selected by historian and fabric designer Barbara Brackman! Congratulations to….

Winner: Anita Verstraete

“I purchased EQ8 one week ago and this challenge was a great way for me to learn how to use the quilt program and explore a palette of colours/fabrics that I wouldn’t ordinarily choose. I’m also very inspired by everyone’s designs.” – Anita Verstraete

A Note from Barbara Brackman

“I picked Anita Verstraete’s as my winner. It has impact—would look good on a wall or a bed. Nice variety of value and colors. I have a bit of a bias but I like seeing large pieces of the prints as they are so lovely.” – Barbara Brackman
