Since yesterday’s viewing was so much fun, let’s continue working our way around the quilt frames of the Cotton Patch Quilt Guild Show…..
Sue used paper piecing to make the birds, and quilted the other designs in the alternating blocks. But, since they didn’t show up enough, she colored them in…. VOILA!!
…
This gorgeous applique is from another member who I have just met…..
There is some fantastic hand applique in this quilt!!
This next one is also a new member and was awarded the “Viewer’s Choice” award and it certainly deserved it!!
…
This quilt is from our Show Chairman…..
In this brightly colored quilt, Sharon used the design to highlight the center fabric block and the top to play with graffiti quilting. Great job!!
…
To put this quilt in perspective, it is 18″ by 18″!!!! Yes, each of those tiny squares started out at 1″!!
…
Laura has a unique technique in her quilts. She uses alcohol inks on paper to achieve the design she wants, then has it printed on fabric….
She then adds the quilting to accentuate the designs…..or “de-accentuate” in the bottom of this piece!!
…
This quilt caught my eye EVERY time I walked passed it (and I probably passed it 200 times during the show)…..
I don’t know if it was the color or the designs but it had me mesmerized!!
…
Josie is another new member who shadowed me in the set up of this year’s show…..
She is donating it to a local non-profit whose mission is suicide prevention!!
…
Today we will end with this modified One-Block Wonder quilt.
I am sure that you have seen “One Block Wonder” quilts made from panels…you buy 7 panels, stack 6 of them up, cut your “wonder” blocks, and keep the 7th for the center.
Pat decided to use place mat panels instead of quilt panels. The result is a perfect wall-hanging for Halloween!! Oh….she loves cats, so that fits her as well!!
OKAY….I am now about half way around the frames so we will continue this journey next weekend.
