Viewer’s Choice - 1st Place Quilt

Congratulations to Phyllis Innes on being awarded
first place for the Viewers Choice at the recent quilt show
held by the Miramichi Quilt Guild, winning a rosette from
the Canadian Quilter’s Association. The show was held at
St. Andrew’s United Church on Wellington Street in
Miramichi on Sept. 29 & 30.
This intricate and beautiful quilt, in shades of blue,
yellow, cream, and beige was created by Phyllis as part of
the 365 Challenge, offered online by Australian Kathryn
Kerr. Beginning on January 1, 2016, a block pattern was
forwarded daily to all those individuals who registered.
The finished block sizes were either three or six inches.
Participants were to choose a minimum of eight
coordinating colors (some prints) and they could choose
the colors they wanted to make their block. The difficulty
level began with easy patterns, such as three strips,
gradually progressing to more complicated ones.
Since 2016, this project has been worked on at various
times throughout the years with it being completed in the
Phyllis Innes displays her winning quilt at the Miramichi Quilt
spring of 2022. This quilt measures 106 inches square and
Guild’s annual show, held this year at St. Andrew’s United Church.
has been machine pieced, hand quilted and hand bound,
all by Phyllis.
