Here are some large, traditional quilts that impressed me. There was one whole cloth quilt that was fabulously hand quilted, but somehow I missed taking a picture. It is frustrating to be looking at the quilts and taking pictures from a seated position - although I did stand up to take some pictures, including these very large works.
This is a white quilt, but I darkened the exposure to better show the intricate machine quilting.
Expert reverse applique done by hand and very nice, precise machine quilting - done in an unusual pattern. My first thought on viewing this quilt was the Aunt Jane pattern, but I think I like this very crisp design better.
Another wonderfully quilted whole cloth quilt. Nice that she acknowledged the source of the designs that were not her original efforts. I am amazed at what some quilters can do on a long-arm machine.
Another gorgeous bed quilt - I love the little flower buds in the stars. I don't know the reason, but I could not modify this picture to crop to the star or sharpen the image. Never happened before - an ideas?
Tonight I am at Mary and Joe's outside of San Juan Bautista - so peaceful and quiet after so many days and nights on the road. While I am here for a few days I will try to post all of the pictures from the QShow in Tacoma. Tonight I will be in bed by midnight - Hurrah!
