Quilt Festival Pictures

So, I think I took a lot of pictures. Hhmmm....I know I took a lot of pictures. It's hard to not take them when the quilts are SO beautiful. Going to the Quilt Festival is like going to a Fine Arts Museum. Except it's more crowded at the Festival. Enjoy the pictures.



If I remember right, this pink and red one looked like the pink was painted on.
It was the sweetest softest shade.
This quilt is called Hurricane. Here, on the Gulf Coast, you get a few of those--sometimes all at once.
I like the rectangular court house steps in this and how it's used as a background.
One day I will make a colorful, black-and-white quilt.
This one looks like a sad guy wandering past doors. I wish he would just open one up, go inside and be happy to be somewhere. Cool doors, definite story.
Funky, happy shoes.
Looks like a corkboard full of favorite trips, not a quilt.
Wizard of Oz on steroids. Every detail included from the hot air balloon to flying monkeys and a munchkin hiding in the flowers. Totally amazing.
Love the colors in this one.
Very eye-catching. Awesome color combination.
20-something thousand pieces. Definitely a wow quilt. While we were admiring this quilt, a lady by us said, "All those pieces and it didn't win? How many do you need to win??"
Stunning.
Also stunning. By looking at this one for a while, I think I finally decided how to quilt my black quilt. Finally, after 5 years, it might get finished.
Amazing shadows.
Kool Krazy Kwilt.
I love this quilt, but especially the center.
Infinity. My sister and niece met the quilter who did this one.
They were impressed by her down-home personality.
Absolutely LOVE this door. I've always loved cool doors--and this one is expecially cool.
It's amazing that it's fabric!
This one wasn't that big but very eye catching.
It looks like a leaf floating in the water.
Another amazing quilt. Usually the quilts with faces don't wow me.
This year, there were a few that were amazingly fantastic! Big wow!
Love the colors.
Another amazing work of art.
Love the colors, placement of elements. Nice.
This whimsical quilt was definitely a favorite.
It had wool felt balls on it and sparkly confetti. Very fun!
In this one, I love the use of color.
The pastels in the background and the changing of color around the border and the inner medallion.
Love how bright this is!
Amazing colors, LOVE the leaf imprints.

I love a good house quilt. The batiks in this were very fun and added a whimsical touch.
I have to say that this one is my all-time favorite for the year. I love reds and pinks and I love how this has such a fun twist on the traditional log cabin. LOVE it!
Yeah, And that's not even all of my pictures. :)

I feel like I'm getting my feet under me with quilting a bit, then, I see these pictures, and I don't even recognize half the stuff they're doing on them! wow....there's so much to learn still! I LOVE THESE PICTURES. I'm so glad you go and take all these awesome pics. I'm amazed by them and would love to know all the 'tricks' - I hardly even know which ones to ask about!

These pictures are amazing! I can't believe what some people can do with fabrics. We make T-shirt quilts, so all we have to do is make all each square the same size.
