The category with the most entries (41) was Traditional Large, unlike the other open entry shows I have attended where traditional has become a very small category. Pictorial Small (34) came next and then Art Small (28). Here are the pictures I took of those quilts. If you are interested in further info on the categories and size requirements let me know and I will send them to you.
Here is another quilt made with Ruth McDowell's techniques. A rather Cubist version of an Indian brave.
The label is misleading - try reading it "The center of the quilts is foundation pieced....".
Nice color and there is the grey again. I was told today that the "modernists" are using a lot of grey.
I found the colors in this quilt pleasing (yellow and blue, again), but the design seems very chaotic - perhaps that is intentional in keeping with the artist's statement.
And this is the entire poem which was posted in a separate label with the quilt.
Appropriate name, great color and a very festive feeling.
A sort of pastel Amish look. Nice smooth curves in the quilting, but how does it relate to the design?
Unusual but effective use of crayon rubbing - a technique that has been around for a very long time, but mostly on paper. The hand quilting is primitive which seems in keeping with the uneven rubbing.

My emails to you keep bouncing back so I'll use this space - have you a new address? I love your blogs and just caught up after spending 5 days in LA coastal area with my daughter. I know you get tired but so wonderful you can still travel so keep it up!! Also was inspired by your many quilt photos, especially Judy Robertson's piece. I LOVE her work and her fabric. Take care, friend, and we'll talk soon. XX
I especially like the Indian Brave...
