The Winner
About this design:
This year Spoonflower crew members asked to try their hands at something that, in many cases, they had never tried to do in their lives: creating a quilt. The fifteen teams produced a number of witty, creative and in some cases even beautiful efforts. They included an LED-lit quilt, a 3-D quilt that showcased fabric manipulation techniques, a scented quilt with a flower design, and a tribute to Spoonflower's hometown of Durham. The winner turned out to be a tribute to Spoonflower itself, and to the many talented designers who make up our community. With all the votes counted, the Staff Challenge winner is the Spoonlandia quilt by the team of John, Abbey and Laurie. Way to go, teams!
Details
Those of you who have followed Spoonflower for a while know that once a year we turn the tables and ask our staff to step up to the plate as designers (which is easier for some than others, as you might imagine). This year we've asked each team of three staff members to collaborate to make a quilt, including designing the fabric that will go into the quilt. Each team has also been asked to document its efforts for the Spoonflower blog. Voting for the staff contest will open on March 14, 2013.
