I’ve been dreaming about QuiltCon for a while now, and I’m pleased to say that I finally got to go and it did NOT disappoint! Each year, thousands of attendees come to this massive Modern Quilt Show. Some are anxious to see over 550 modern quilts on display, others can’t wait to learn from top instructors, and some of us are just in it for the vendors!
