I live a few towns away from Nashua, NH where "A Quilters' Gathering", an annual quilt show with classes and vendors is celebrated every year. I spent a few hours there on Saturday looking at all the beautiful quilts, getting inspiration and spending money on some fabric and a pattern. I didn't take many photos of quilts, but here are the few that I really thought were interesting.
A nice applique quilt with a beautiful edge treatment.
And a close up of the flowers. The largest flower is about 10" across.
A wonderful arrangement of grandmother's flower blocks.
And some beautiful quilting on this quilt.
There are only 6 different blocks in this quilt. Each row is a single block pattern done in different fabrics and values in the design to show how different an individual block can look using different color placements.
A beautiful scrappy quilt. What a great way to use up colorful scraps.
A gorgeous wedding ring quilt. A wedding ring is on my list of quilts to do in the near(ish) future.
Gayle's beautiful Star Berries quilt. I hadn't noticed the scalloped edges on the top right and lower left before. Pictures don't do this quilt justice.
Congratulations, Gayle.
Irises are my favorite flower. I really like the quilting on the background of this.
Well, there you have it. This is certainly not all of the quilts, but some that I particularly liked.
Mair, Thanks for posting these pictures. The one that has only 6 blocks was a huge eye opener for me. What a difference the color placement makes!
ReplyDeleteGail is an amazing quilter! I love her scrappy backgrounds on this quilt. And she always thinks up these unique settings. Why can't I do that? LOL :)
