Either there weren't that many traditional quilts shown or I missed them. The first two quilts are from the special exhibit "In the American Tradition - 2010"
Be still my heart! I do love blue/yellow quilts and this one is outstanding. I don't understand her method, "...a template that makes 8 blocks at once.", but I am intrigued.
The white-glove lady kindly held the quilt up so I could photograph the back - it is indeed a two-sided quilt. The bottom of the quilt is vertical on the left side of the picture - you can just see the doily label on the top left.
I think the quilting should enhance the design of the quilt. Sometimes that means following the seamlines and sometimes a more free flowing line is effective. Here the quilting adds to the overall success of the quilt by contrasting with the symmetrical design of the piecing.
And what a celebration of printed fabrics - a feast from Lynn's fabric library!
The little tassels hang on the ends of the sun's rays. Click on the full picture for a closeup.
63" Square Sometimes I miss a picture and this is one of those times. I took a picture of the label and a couple details, but I didn't take a picture of the entire quilt! Usually someone stops to talk and I forget to turn back to take the picture, or someone is standing directly in front of the quilt and by the time they move I have forgotten what I was waiting for! In this case, the quilt happens to be the one on the cover of the show catalog, so I took a picture of the cover and post it above. Notice that this quilt has been sold - that is what the red dot means. I was not the buyer!
Timna has done a commendable job of selecting fabrics that go with the fabrics in the vintage blocks she has used.
Fussy cutting some of the circles is a nice touch.
The labels below go with three quilts in the picture below - left to right.
