Today let’s take a look at the second part of the Large Pictorial Quilts from the International Quilt festival!!
We live with a bevy of deer in our neighborhood so this quilt appealed to my senses…..
I was intrigued with how Nancy used snippets in her trees…..
Michael and I have visited many places similar to this and I love how the scene has been depicted in fabric…..
This best descriptor of this next quilt is “STRIKING”.
There were so many details in this next piece…..
Look at some of them……
These chickens were so much fun……
When my friend Linda looked at this quilt, she said “that looks like Keukenhof Gardens”….and it was indeed!!
It was made from a photograph professionally printed on fabric and then quilted.
This final quilt was probably my favorite in the category……
These quilters have had similar quilts in past shows and I absolutely LOVE their work. It is always whimsical and realistic.
One of my readers made an interesting comment about professionally printed fabrics that have been quilted. She wondered if they shouldn’t be in a “Wholecloth” category. I hadn’t thought of them as such but it certainly makes sense.
What do you think??
Tomorrow we will have a look at the winners (and others) in the Pieced Category. Stay tuned…..

These are sooo inspiring – so joyously lovely…!! Thank you !!!
I am so glad Susanne. I am enjoying presenting them!!
When I think of wholecloth I think of a solid fabric, usually white, where the only pattern is the quilting.
That is true too, but I have seen a lot of Wholecloth quilts that were painted first….just not pictorial ones.
