On Tuesday, we looked at one of my favorite exhibits at the International Quilt Festival, and this is the other one….. IN FULL BLOOM”. This exhibit showcases floral-inspired quilts from across the spectrum in lush color and splendor.
WHAT COULD BE BETTER!!!
This improvisational piecing style is SO OUT OF MY COMFORT ZONE, so of course, I am drawn to it!!
This was painted, printed on fabric, and quilted.
The “Broderie Perse” style of applique was certainly put to good use.
It is hard to show on a photo, but you can see where she added a lighter piece of fabric to many darker strips to give them a 3-dimensional look….
Ingenious!!
I have shown this quilt several times on the blog because it was made by my friend Rosie!! I would NEVER have thought to use the black-and-white fabric as an accent on each leaf, but oh my, does it ever work!!!

The “minimalist” view is perfect for this quilt!!
AND, look how the bias tape was applied…..
Isn’t that ingenious!!
Having tried, AND FAILED, a Mileifiori design, I am in AWE of this one!!
I could go on and on about the quilts in this category, but I will leave it here!!
Keep coming back for more!!
