In Full Bloom

I don’t know about you, but I adore quilts that feature flowers so “In Full Bloom” is an exhibit that I wait for each year.

The flowers in this first quilt are wonderful…..

“Amor Por Las Flores” by Marlies Janssen

…but work well against this background…..

I THINK that this background is a piece of fabric and not pieced but it is SO effective!!

I plan my flower beds to be a cacophony of colors and types of flowers, and this quilt reminds me greatly of that……

“Spring Song” by Linda Riesterer

The applique was perfect and the quilting added a great touch to the quilt…..

This sunflower quilt is another example of turning a panel into a Kaleidoscope quilt……

“Sunflowers Dreamscapes” by Kathy Kennedy

This is the panel that was used…..

I talked about this technique in a previous post….

We have spent a lot of time in tropical areas where bananas are grown so this quilt resonated….

“Banana Tree” by Kathy Skaggs

I appreciate the piecing in this quilt!!

This final quilt was simple in design but was extremely effective…..

“Mother Nature’s All Inclusive Flower Garden” by Kathy York

What a fun way to showcase floral fabrics!!

Okay….we are working our way through the categories and exhibits from the International Quilt Festival. Tomorrow we will look at some “traditional with a twist” quilts!!
