local Quilt Show

I visited the Oakland County Quilt Guild Spring Quilt Show last Friday. The quilts were amazing! Here are a few of my favorite quilts from the show. You can view the rest of the set here.

Such a cool optical illusion!

a fun space themed quilt in a sea of flowery, girly quilts.

This is a Turkish puzzle quilt (I think). The top six blocks are repeated in the bottom six blocks and the trick is to find the matching pairs of blocks. I love the rich colors in this quilt.

Incredible, incredible machine quilting!

Love the bold colors and geometric design on this handkerchief quilt.

I am always so impressed by beautiful applique in bright colors.

This quilt took pebble quilting to a whole new level! The quilting on this is unbelievable!

Again, I'm a sucker for beautiful applique!

These two quilts (peony and cross) were made by the same quilter. The cross quilt has been hanging in the church where the flute choir ensemble I'm in practices each week. I've been meaning to bring my camera to practice to get a picture of this quilt because it's so striking. I love the stained glass effect she created with the vibrant colors.

Such a cool kaleidoscope quilt.

And, for all of you hexagon lovers out there, I had to throw this one in. The tag said it was made with 2,585 hexagons!

As you can see, the show was totally inspiring. It makes me want to step up my quilting game a bit (or outsource more :)

Thanks for sharing - looks like it was a great quilt show. I've never heard of the Turkish Puzzle Quilt, but it's a cool design.

Wow, gorgeous quilts! I should look it up and see if there's any quilt shows happening in my city.

I am so impressed! These are such amazing quilts. It makes me want to look up local quilt shows in my area. Thank you for sharing.

Ooh, I want to make the optical illusion one, or something like that - I like that version better than the regular bargello.

I can't figure out the turkish puzzle quilt - I don't see how the blocks are repeated - did you find them?

Cheers,
Christine

I am in LOVE with the water lily quilt. It really has such a beautiful realism to it.

Wow -- those are absolutely amazing. I couldn't dream up such wonders, much less create one.

Wow, what amazing quilts. I am amazed at the optical illusion one and the detailed machine quilting, oh and those tiny pebbles! All of those must have taken a lot of time. Just beautiful, I want to go to a quilt show, I need to find some in my area.

i think it is impossible for you to step up your game... i mean, these quilts are wonderful but yours are already completely phenomenal! you have a style and sense of color all your own and it is completely wonderful!
