Please note that we are publishing all entries for our archiTEXTure challenge* anonymously. We are doing this because all these pieces will be assessed by a team of international quilt judges. The professional ethics of judging quilts require that the maker remain anonymous as not to influence the judging by existing friendships or - hopefully rarely - animosities.

On 20 July 2020, we opened our second virtual exhibition, the 50pictures Retrospective.
These quilts represent a selection of the 120 quilts resulting from our online activity "50pictures" which we organized in 2016. Just as for our current activity "archiTEXTure", we published an inspirational photo every week and invited quilters from around the world to interpret these photos freely.

This photo shows the upper part of an old lighthouse at the northernmost point of the German island of Rügen. At the popular excursion destination Cape Arkona you can admire several lighthouses and look out over the open waters of the Baltic Sea.
This is inspirational photo #36 of our archiTEXTure Challenge:
Again we find inspiration in something very banal - the pavement of a very ordinary parking lot. Octagons are always a favourite at Quilt around the World and when combined with surprisingly complex lines and a variety of texture, they become a feast for the eye...
