Sawtooth Quilt by Simone Symonds
This stunning quilt by Simone Symonds of Parap, Northern Territory, Australia won the Quilting Excellence Award sponsored by the Modern Quilt Guild at the recent Quilt Con Show. This quilt is titled: "Sawtooth No 3: Betelguese," and measures 63" x 63".
This quilt design is big and bold, but intricate too. It's measured and improv at the same time. It captures my attention and won't let go. I love a quilt that inspires me to drop everything and make my own version. And this quilt does that for me. Nice job, Simone!

Consumer Reports recommends certain brands that have lower levels of these toxic metals. I don't get it. Why injest any at all?
