There haven't been many quilt shows the last few years because of the pandemic. When I was looking through some older photos, I came across these quilt photos from the February 2007 quilt show in Myrtle Beach South Carolina. Do you have a favorite?
Wow, that was a lot to see. One was stunning visually. But another had such little pieces stitched to perfection. It's hard to make a favorite choice. Before we moved here, one of my blog friends talked about a quilt show in Tehachapi CA which is REALLY near me. The next time I go to town I'm going to stop in the quilt shop and ask if there are plans for a future show. I have never been to one and would definitely go. Back in Indiana Shipshewana IN always had an annual show but I never went. Since it's the heart of Indiana Amish country I was pretty sure it would be full of traditional quilting. I'm not too into "traditional". xx, Carol
They are all very colourful, aren't they? If I were to pick one to hang on the wall, I'd chose the bookcase or the handbag collection. For a bedcover I would want the large one made up of small squares (that the visitor is studying keenly). Which is YOUR pick, Pamela?
It is interesting to see a collection from 15 years ago and see if quilt fashions have changed in that time.
My favourites are probably the little hanging basket with zygocactus (Christmas cactus), and the 2nd-last one with the scrappy blocks of squares and triangles. That seems quite a timeless classic.

These are all fabulous. I'm always amazed at how many different patterns emerge!
Wonderful lots of quilts, very hard to pick a favourite, I do love the dragonflies though, and the bookcase....

I think I like the first two best - such vibrant colours!
