Kalamazoo Quilt Show

I went to the Kalamazoo quilt show last weekend, and thought I’d share some of the pictures with you.

I don’t know what it is about optical illusion quilts, but I’m fascinated by them.  Someday…
I like the use of color in this quilt


I really like this simple quilting pattern.


This one’s for Molly.  These are 3-D stars attached to this quilt.  They look like they were created by an embroidery machine.  But wouldn’t this be a good way to combine crocheted stars and quilting?


This one looked like a lot of work.  I like the border.
 

Butterflies for Cheryl…
















This one was very heavily quilted.  The gold colors you see are all thread painted.


Am I showing my age with my love of this one?


Gotta go.  I’ll show more quilts later.  Hope you enjoyed the show.

  2. Now I don't quilt, but I'd think the optical illusion quilts would be hard to create. The quilts are quite impressive.
