Some quilts that particularly caught my eye.

1.


2.

3.

4. Probably queen size. It's ALL prints, the lights & mediums as well; master class in value placement.

5. Another award winner, a miniature, 8 inches square, just astonishingly tiny, magnificent!

6. By my friend & long arm collaborator Janice; unusual coloration for this design.

More to follow.

    7. A water color, impressionistic quilt. Spoke to the maker who told a bit about how the assembly produced the effect, I'd never seen one of these in person before.


    8. A detail 'cause why not?


    9. I confess I'm biased to blue green quilts.


    10. Just stunningly beautiful! Was an award winner w/ good reason!


    11. The quilter made the Pineapple part very high relief quilting, just remarkable.


    12. This was breath taking!

    So glad you're enjoying them. We all know how much we love pix. I've got another 10 more that were notable to me if folks would like to see more.

    Gorgeous. I've never heard of an impressionist quilt, so thanks for the education! And #5, such tiny pieces! I'd love to see more.

    Bev, to be clear, that's MY term for it, impressionistic, it's just how it struck me. I believe they may be referred to as water color quilts.

    OK, since you're up for more.


    13. Pls. squint, or distance best for full effect of this one.


    14. Refers to work of Glassblower, Dale Chihuly. If you know his work, the connection is clear.


    15. One of my favorites, the complementary colors just rock this thing!!!


    16. This works so beautifully on so many levels.


    17, By Gotham Quilts* (my local quilt store, lucky me). They have a marvelous Brick & Mortar store in NYC & are online as well, with classes & various activities including long-arm training & facilities. I can't recommend them highly enough.


    Have no financial interest, but know the owners. 2 really talented & hardworking women, one of whom also went to same Textile School as I did (fka Phila. College of Textiles & Sciences). If I were able to, I'd be taking various classes w/ them including long-arm quilting. They've built themselves a business that's really a tremendous resource for quilters.


    18. This charmed me & I'm smitten by the colored inner border, not one I'd seen before.


    19. Wonderfully effective.


    20. Am fascinated by this assemblage. Am a wovens / homespun person as well, so that particularly speaks to me.


    Ooops, it's late, bed time!

    You bet Lois, hadn't seen your response 'til now. I came to get the link for this thread to share w/ Gotham themselves & saw your comment.

    I appreciate you stopping in to thank me.
