"Bird Quilts from the Thomas Contemporary Quilt Collection" 04-27-18

I thought I had posted the quilts that are exhibit at Back Porch Fabrics,but I cannot find them on my blog.  It is time to drive up to take the quilts down and bring them home.  So, here are all the quilts that are hanging at Back Porch through Sunday.  Some shots show the layout and then there images of individual quilts.
There is a limit of 200 characters for the labels, so I can't put all the artists' names in.

Yes, a wonderful feast of fabulous quilts. I've promised myself to get down there before show end, but just in case I don't make it today or tomorrow, thank you so much for showing your incredibly creative collection. Rash of Flamingos is still my favorite of all! Though, others come very close. Thanks again for collecting and sharing.
