at the Great Wisconsin Quilt Show with insights to this
year's event. I'm joined by Ray Lin. Welcome, Raylan. Hello.
And Raylan is one of our kids quilt makers. So each year at
the Great Wisconsin Quilt Show, we have a kids quilt challenge,
and Raylan is going to tell us about her quilt. And the first
thing I notice about Raylan's quilt, other than the beautiful
design, is there's a second place ribbon. Raylan.
Congratulations. You won second place in the Kids Quilt
Challenge this year. >> Thank you.
>> Such a wonderful quilt. Let's talk about your quilt.
How did you design your quilt? >> So I just thought of like
with the chicken scratch and the dots. Like thinking it was
just going to be cute with the for the friendship stars only
having patterns and for the bee's wings having patterns.
>> Right? In which block did you start with first?
>> I kind of don't remember. >> Yeah, I know you designed it
a little bit on paper, but I was really impressed when you
took it to your mom's phone. Your mom has an app on her
phone for. >> On a computer?
>> On her computer. How did you how did you.
>> It helped to, like, design it. And it had a bunch of
shapes and colors that I can choose from to piece it
together. software on her computer. And
was it fun to do that process on the computer?
>> Yeah, because I've never really done it before like that.
>> Right? There are so many different blocks and so many
different pieces. Tell us about all the different stars.
>> So these are the sawtooth. They're just like a square with
triangles, obviously. And the friendship stars, other smaller
ones here. But the big ones are the only ones with the patterns.
>> Sure. What was the most difficult part of putting your
quilt together? friendship stars because it has
lots of little sewing. They're very.
