Today we are starting on the Large Pictorial quilts that were displayed at the International Quilt Festival.
This quilt was a Blue-Ribbon winner…..

To see more of her lovely floral quilts, check out this post from a few weeks ago…..
I love the colors in this quilt……

….and the maker (Brent McGee) was easy to pick out…..he was wearing a jacket made out of the same fabrics!!
This next quilt was based on a photo taken in the Shenandoah National Park…..

The whimsical nature of this Moose invites you to look closer…..

Look at the “fur” on his chin…..

….and the quilting in the background…..

Hollis Chatelain always produces amazing quilts and this is no exception…..

Look at this threadwork……

I still can’t quite wrap my head around how Cynthia England pieces these quilts……

Finally for today, this Caryl Bryer Fallert-Gentry “color wheel” of Herons was a joy to view…..

That’s half of my favorites….the rest will be shown tomorrow!!!
