Pippa created this unique QR Code quilt with a solid white background and fused fussy cut cupcakes. IT ACTUALLY WORKS!! I think this is super fun. Thanks for letting me share it, Pippa. For those of you without a smart phone, I can tell you that the code links to this blog (but if you've got an app, try it! Scanning is just too much fun!),
Check out the flickr group - there are some spectacular codes made from hundreds (maybe thousands!) of tiny french knots, several cross-stitched codes and even some knit gloves incorporating codes (although my iPhone couldn't scan the knitting).
Oh! Have you heard? The Modern Quilt Guild Blog has put out a call for submissions for a feature they will run this fall called "100 Days of Modern Quilts". You are encouraged to submit up to 3 quilts that you've made and consider to be examples of modern quilting, along with any tutorials that you have written, or that you would like to nominate from someone else in blogland. I've submitted "Scan Me" - let's see if they like it!
Still two days to enter my birthday giveaway for a GO! Baby fabric cutting system (including 3 dies of your choice) or some of my hand-printed poppy fabric here.

Oh, be assured the Modern Quilt Guild Blog will be calling you about your QR Code quilt!
Cupcakes in a QR code. Briliant.
Another intriguing quilt! Thanks for sharing.
very cool! I'm so behind the times, I'm finally downloading a QR Reader app for my iphone so I can scan your quilt (and this one) in!
I've had a question-- how the heck did VMQG even get their QR code?
Tee hee, this is great!
Sure they will like it! I was also wondering how you got the QR code in the first place but was hesitating to ask and look even more technologically out of it... but since the other Krista asked already, please tell me too!
Good luck with the 100 Days of Modern Quilting submission - I think you've got a great chance!
I think the combination of quilting and computery-ing is very awesome, regardless of my incomprehension. Perhaps it one of those non-i-phone owning mysteries....... whatever it is, it's kinda brain stretching, isn't it? :D
I feel certain your quilt will more than qualify!!
Thank you for all the lovely comments, it was a leap of faith to cut out all the cupcakes not knowing if it would scan in the end or not! I chose to make a whole cloth quilt because I decided there was no way I would create a pieced 29 by 29 quilt that was anything like square at the end!
