And the winners are ... Spectrum's Second Quilt Block Contest
N.T. Hantman · IEEE Spectrum · 1997
The transmittal modes of the entries in IEEE Spectrum's second contest in this field were almost as varied as the range of media available to quilt block designers today. Blocks pieced together in fabric or depicted in pencil on paper or on a computer printout were forwarded by surface mail and airmail. Other designs emerged from the fax, and a few showed up as electronic files, sent computer to computer.
