The quilt I have pictured below is my favorite of all. As far as I know it did not win any prizes.
However, it was absolutely beautiful and the workmanship was just amazing.
The information in the second picture tells you who made it. Then, the following pictures are close ups of some of the features.
The title is "The Quilt Show. In the middle is a building where a quilt show is being held. Along the outer borders are tiny quilts -- these quilts are so small that each piece may have taken 2 or 3 tiny stitches to connect it to the next piece. I was amazed that these little quilts were made and then incorporated into the larger design. Take a minute to admire the little quilts along the top, bottom, and right side.
These tiny yo-yos were hanging on a clothes line on the left side of the picture, near the tree.
Look how tiny the pieces are in this double wedding ring quilt.
This little basket quilt was offset by an equally tiny fan quilt on the other side. Look at the tiny quilt hanging over the fence in the bottom of the picture.
I love these "Sun Bonnet Sue" quilt blocks.
We saw some really beautiful quilts but to me, this one really embodies the whole idea of quilting!

WOW...that Quilt Show quilt is amazing. What was the overall size of it (from what you recall)?
That is quite the quilt! Cannot imagine getting my fingers to mess with such small pieces! I would like to go to Houston for this show one time! Lucky you getting to go!
The last quilt you show is very similar to on e a very dear friend of W's made for our great granddaughter Amelia.
Everyone is not sure if we should use it or hang it on the wall risking it fading in the sun. Decisions decisions?..........
