I saw this quilt last year, it was best of show, and saw it again this year because they had a display of all the BOS quilts displayed. It was a neat display. This is by Renae Haddidin. It was a whole cloth and the diamonds forming the circles were done completely in thread using her longarm! The octogon is done with embroidery. I wish I had taken a pic of the back of this one...it was TOTALLY different and she lined it up perfectly...AMAZING piece of work! Here's a link to her website with this quilt...it shows the back! This won best of show in the clothing section...this was amazing to me...I spent a long time looking at this! Notice the decorated tennis shoes! LOL...those are bright buttons!
The applique and color choices are superb on this ensemble!
I loved the weaving look to this one! I wish I had gotten a closer pic of the quilting though.
Batiks...gotta LOVE batiks!
I hope you are enjoying the show!
Hugs

Thanks for more quilt show! I am a cat lover, so I really appreciate the one of the cat - just stunning. And the one with the boobie border made me giggle. I like the way they're all different sizes and different colors, too. :)
Think it'll end up in a clinic somewhere, on the wall so people can see as they're waiting for their appt? It's great.
Love the show, thanks for sharing!
Some lovely photos - I do so like quilts on black or navy backgrounds - it just makes the colours sing
More lovely quilts - thanks for sharing :-)
