This app is so easy to use and has features that are very useful. My favorite feature is the schedule of events. It shows all of the quilting classes and I can add them to my own schedule for the day! It even reminds me before the class starts. Also, kudos to whoever made the logo- it’s beautiful! Especially the “K” on the login screen (if you pay close attention, the “K” is covered in a quilt. Nice touch!) For those who are just downloading and using this app for the first time this year, I should mention that this app used to be called “Konnected,” but they made it Quilting specific this year and changed the name to “Quiltspace.” I love the new name, and I am very proud to have a community of quilters just a tap away on my phone. Thank you to everyone who contributed to making this app possible and for those who are using it to strengthen our quilting community. Can’t wait to see everyone at the future shows!!

I’d like to get my money back. This app only works for blocks. I am making a scrappy quilt w white triangles dancing across the top. I picked a block of all triangles. I added 18 (9 patch w triangles) fabrics to audition and put them in my block and then I used that block in an entire quilt. Unfortunately, to change a single triangle, you have to create an entire new block. I ended up w 15 blocks varying by only one triangle before I gave up. I wanted to play with color value across my quilt, but that’s not possible. This app doesn’t allow that. Even if you want to a make a quilt w blocks, but want to work w color, all the blocks have to be created separately. I make queen sized quilts. That’s appx 40 blocks. If I wanted to audition fabrics that number could easily turn into hundreds of individual blocks by the time I finished experimenting. I sent an email to the developers asking how I could change only one triangle in a quilt, but they never replied. Two stars for being able to upload my own fabrics, but that isn’t as helpful as you might think.

I love seeing the different patterns, colors and especially the stories that go along with the quilts. The younger generation that is interested in this craft is inspiring to me, a well seasoned Quilter, Since they do such good work and you can see how proud they are of their accomplishment! Nothing better than a hobby to keep a persons head on straight!😆
