More IS more!!

Last week we took a look at the Minimalism Category at QuiltCon. Today we are going the opposite direction and hit the MAXIMALISM exhibit!!

HERE WE GO……

This shows a magnificent use for striped fabric……”strips of stripes cut in opposite angles and pieced to make chevrons”. All I have to say is that you have to be REALLY good at matching points!!

This quilt has lots of improvisational piecing…..

….and was dedicated to her mother who “found joy in each day”!!

“Oh my” was all I could think when I stepped up to this quilt…..

I love the half-rectangle blocks made with strips. It makes an interesting looking block!

But, I also love the quilting. It is a great mixture of straight lines and FMQ designs. More importantly, it adds greatly to the design…..

The architectural feel of this next quilt appealed to me…..

I love the “facets” that appear in the quilt!!

Although there aren’t a lot of colors in this quilt…..

….after I read the title “Hidden Tree”, I feel that I am looking thru the branches and leaves of a tree and seeing that little bit of sky at the top. (If you know who made this, please let me know so that I can give proper credit.)

My mother would probably roll over in her grave if she saw this Double Wedding Ring……

….but I kind of like it!!

I would certainly like to take a walk along these “Patchwork Hills”……

In this case, the maximalism isn’t with fabric but with number of pieces of fabric!! I especially liked these “square blocks”…..

This quilt have a fun visual appeal…..

….but then I like most of Cindy Grisdela’s work!!

I will end today with this quilt…..

The simple title of “9-Patch” does not do it justice!

There was so much amazing piecing in this quilt…..

Well, if that doesn’t leave you wanting to see more, I don’t know what will!

BUT DON’T WORRY….tomorrow I will be back with MORE!
