Summer is in full swing, and yet another QuiltInk Challenge just reached its finish line.
Working with Always, the romantic fabric collection by Belle Brunner for Benartex, gave everyone a chance to play with soft florals and delicate texture, tones built around warmth and sentiment rather than bold statements. Quite a few of you kept that gentle, dreamy feeling intact, while others took the fabrics somewhere unexpected, which is exactly what makes these challenges so fun to follow.
Browsing this month's submissions on the Wall was genuinely delightful. Quilter after quilter found their own angle on Always, and seeing that spread of ideas side by side reminded us why this community keeps surprising us. We closed the giveaway with 205 entries this time, each one adding something worth pausing on.
But it's time to reveal who takes the prize home this month.
🎉 ArtsyCarew
Congratulations! 💛
ArtsyCarew's mock-up of Summer Sun by Kiley's Quilt Room was randomly selected as our winner, earning a Fat Quarter Bundle from the Always collection, kindly sponsored by Benartex Fabrics.
Expect an email from us shortly with all the next steps.
Many thanks to Benartex for sponsoring this month's giveaway and adding that extra spark to the challenge. And a heartfelt thank you to Belle herself, for teaming up with me to put this whole challenge together, it was such a joy to build this one with her.
To all of you who entered, we're grateful. Every single mock-up you post on the Wall opens up new possibilities for someone else scrolling through, proof of just how far one fabric collection can travel once a whole community starts playing with it.
Still haven't browsed the full lineup? Swing by the Wall and sort by Past Challenges to catch everything you missed, there's plenty to spark your next quilt idea.
To every single one of you who joined in this month, thank you for making this challenge such a beautiful one to watch unfold. Stay tuned, because the next challenge is already on its way, and I can't wait to see where you take it.
Happy coloring! 💛
